Coventry Festival 2008 Syllabus
Welcome to the Syllabus for the Coventry Festival of Speech and Drama.
We offer classes in Verse, Prose, Drama, Public Speaking and Original Writing.
This year's Festival will take place on Saturdays 15th & 22nd November 2008 at Bablake School, Coundon Road, Coventry.
New to 2008!
Over the past couple of years we have listened to our entrants, teachers and audience and, in response going forward, children's classes will be held separately from adult classes. Both will have the same adjudications, crits, certificates and medals but children and adults will not compete directly against each other.
Our Adjudicator for 2008 is Jenny Thompson
Jenny trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Having taught drama and led the Performing Arts team in a large Comprehensive for 10 years, Jenny now enjoys running her own Performance Centre with ages from 4 years to adult, delivering drama, dance and musical theatre. She loves writing and was delighted when LAMDA printed one of her monologues in their exam syllabus book. She is an Assistant Principal for Edexcel, visiting schools in the North London area and traveling abroad examining GCSE practial performances. Jenny is looking forward to visiting Coventry Festival and making it a very positive experience for all concerned.
“Drama is a life skill that changed me from a stuttering introvert to a confident individual.
We can give our children no better opportunity.”
Jenny Thornton
