The annual Royal Wootton Bassett Speech and Drama Festival is gearing up for its 9th show on 17 and 18 November at the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy. The closing date for all entries is 30 September.
A copy of the syllabus and entry forms can be found on our new website www.RWBArtsFestival.com.
The event features a wide range of classes available including Acting, Reading, Mime, Television News Reading. Entries from participants of all ages are welcome. There are opportunities for groups, pairs and solos.
Sandra McDowell, Chair of the Speech and Drama Festival said: “Our Speech and Drama Festival is thriving and growing rapidly as classes across the board are expanding. In 2009, we started with just one adjudicator, now we have four.
“After its success last year, we’re really excited to be adding additional recital classes where entrants can perform a selection of poetry, prose, acting under one theme. We are also increasing the number of novice classes in both verse speaking and solo acting which is exclusively available to performers who are yet to win a cup at the festival. We have also launched an additional Choral Group Speaking class and a Shakespeare class for younger performers. Following great feedback last year, we will also continue to film our Television News Readers, giving them an even more professional and realistic experience. We believe there is something for everyone!
“Our four expert adjudicators will be there at the festival to provide valuable feedback to our entrants. We know they will be engaging, inspirational and enriching.
“We’d love you to get involved with the festival this year, either as a performer or a member of our valued audience.”
The Royal Wootton Bassett Speech and Drama Festival is the only one in Wiltshire affiliated to the British and International Federation of Festivals.
In addition, the RWBAF’s specialist Classical Guitar Festival will take place alongside the Speech and Drama Festival at Royal Wootton Bassett Academy. Expert guitarist Gary Ryan will be there to adjudicate the entrants. The closing date for the Classical Guitar Festival is 13th October 2017.
