JSG students scored points with their radio play

“Hear hear!” is a successful listening competition for the whole of Franconia, in which young people between the ages of eight and 26 can submit their audio productions. The choice of topics in the competition categories ?? radio play ??, ?? journalistic contribution ?? and ?? Aircheck ?? is free. From among 150 submissions, the jury at the Fürth Kulturforum on November 14th chose the contribution of the group of students from last year’s 6c at the Johann-Schöner-Gymnasium in second place in the radio play category (age group 8-12 years).

In addition, the team (Hannes Fritsch, Cornelius Becker, Henry Estenfelder, Fiona Jungwirth, Lisa Winzen, Leo Steidle and Tim Schneider 7c) was able to recreate an old Spessart legend ?? Der wilde Mann vom Main ?? also get hold of the coveted audience award. A great success that the students can be proud of.

The festival went online this year due to the current situation. Still, it was an exciting evening. The jury not only focused on sound and effects, but also praised the overall idea of ​​the radio play productions, “story, intuition and the dramaturgical point of view”.

Sirius Kestel (radio play producer) and Alexander Nym (radio play speaker) found the radio plays in general fascinating, the possibility of telling longer stories on a budget and creating “pictures, soundscapes and emotions”.

The radio plays were produced in the previous school year. The idea came up in class under the direction of German teacher Katja Reinhart, when the students dealt with the topic of “legends”, in particular with legends from the area. The plan arose to breathe life into these old stories through creative transformation. Dialectal elements also flowed into the radio play script for some speaking roles. The class received technical support for the recordings from teacher Ulrich Hornung, the director of the film and media course at the JSG.
