Get Creative! |
|
| |
It's
that time of the year again where fun and organised mayhem is a prerequisite,
with the approach of the 6th Annual Japanese
Language Performance Day & the
3rd Creative Art Exhibition which will be held on Sunday,
24th November at the Japan Cultural Centre Sydney,
Gallery. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event,
this is a non-competitive fun day for children of all ages, (from
Pre-school to Secondary students) who may be studying Japanese, to
express their feelings about Japan and the Japanese language and culture
in a creative way. The types of presentations and topics are created
and produced by students themselves and in the past we have had the
pleasure of seeing many talented, witty and artistic presentations.
The performances range from skits, written and performed by students,
to Japanese songs (from the traditional to modern 'J-pop') and traditional
Japanese folk dances. We would like to extend an invitation to all
children who are interested in Japan, Japanese language teachers and
students to get involved in this event. For those of you who are unable
to attend the event, please do not be discouraged as it is possible
to submit artwork or video presentations (which will also be presented
on the day).
If you wish to obtain the guidelines and application
forms for this event please contact Nanayo
on Ph: (02) 9922 0025; Fax: (02) 9957 6789; Email: Nanayo_Kato-Wilder@jpf.org.au.
Details and application forms are also
available from our website www.jpf.org.au
(in the Sydney Language Centre section).
