Poetry recitation performance coach, Yuri Naumkin, will run a Poetry Recitation Workshop for the Russian Poetry Recital contestants in their preparation for the contest. Workshop will be both practical and interactive. Contestants will avoid disappointment of their recitations mistakes and improve performances in their preparation for reciting and performing poetry on stage.
Participation in the Poetry Recital Contest can be a very rewarding experience for local students who love poetry and learn Russian. The Contest is dedicated to strengthening local communities through the art of Russian poetry. The contest emphasizes the pleasure of reciting poems. There are numerous benefits to poetry recitals. Children have gained experience of standing and speaking in front of a group, build confidence, overcome shyness. They develop public speaking ability. Recitation is the easiest way for children to do some public speaking. It cultivates writing skills. As children memorize well-written poems, they are storing in their minds templates and models of excellent writing which will serve them as they write themselves.
Children and adults recite in Russian one poem of their choice. Both "Native Russian speakers" and "Non-native Russian speakers” are welcome to participate. Award Ceremony and Contestants Reception will be followed. The winners will recite at the Grand Finale of the Russian Winter Festival on Sunday, February 25th 2018. The registration deadline is February 8th 2018. For the aplication form click here.
