ENTRY
The entry fee for all speech, drama and mime classes is £8.50 except where indicated.
REPERTOIRE
Performers entering ‘own choice’ classes must ensure that the selected pieces are of a suitable standard for the age group. Teachers and students are requested to be aware of the sensitivity of the audience regarding the content of the scenes. Language likely to cause offence must not be included.
PROPS
None but hand props (e.g. fan, stick, handkerchief, scarf, etc) will be permitted. Properties are not permitted in mime classes
PROMPTING
The adjudicator and stewards will not prompt if words are forgotten; therefore performers are advised to provide their own prompter who must not be their teacher. In case of difficulty performers are asked to contact the General Administrator. Gesture and movement are not permitted in the verse speaking classes.
ADJUDICATOR COPIES
A copy of the words to be performed must be provided for the Adjudicator on the day.
COACHING
No instruction, mouthing of words or gestures by teacher, tutor or parent is allowed during the performance.
COPYRIGHT
It is the responsibility of the performer and teacher to ensure their chosen author allows their work to be performed.
TIME LIMITS
Competitors will not be placed if the time limit is exceeded.
