Bristol French Drama Festival – an exciting and creative project for secondary schools in the South West, organised by Routes into Languages South West in partnership with Theatre VO – will showcase short productions prepared by French drama clubs from secondary schools on Saturday 12th March at the University of Bristol.

Foreign language assistants and teachers were invited to attend training workshops last November with a view to organise a French drama club in school for students, interested in French and Drama, to run weekly during the lunch break or after school between November and March. They have 4 months to prepare a 5-10 minute performance on the pre-determined theme.

This will culminate with a fun performance for all – pupils will perform their production on stage and share it with other participants, friends and families at the festival in March! Three prizes will be awarded to winners – for Best Acting, Best Language Skills and Creativity.

This is a joint event with Theatre VO, a Bristol-based company with years of experience in running French theatre workshops for children and adults: www.theatre-vo.com
