This theatrical initiative has been temporarily paused in recent times owing to the extremely time consuming and demanding schedules of the broader musical productions staged by the College. However, the Cultural Festival has been and will continue to be an opportunity for Woodlands to “talent scout” its student corps. Often there exists a talented musician, dancer, actor or actress, or vocalist who needs that one opportunity to be discovered. It is this raw talent that the Woodlands Cultural staff find great personal satisfaction in seeking out, nurturing and developing.
When we put our hearts into it and are appreciative of young people’s artistic individuality, we take profound leaps into the future of the performing and fine arts.
At Woodlands we view the Cultural Festival as not only a formative forum for celebrating and showing the creative genius of our young students, but also as a dynamic and exciting opportunity to develop and foster inter-College bonds through the fellowship of the performing arts, encouraging healthy and meaningful collaboration between other like-minded students. Extremely proficient and professional adjudicators are on hand to offer advice and encouragement and at the same time select the best performers from each performance art form to move forward to the Gala Performance. This Gala Performance is also adjudicated and awards are handed out for the best performers in a range of categories.
Despite its humble beginnings in 2009, the Cultural Festival represents a show stopping week-long event that puts our talent on the stage, and allows our parents to share in the moment.
