CHILDREN'S JURY

My name is Daniel Gajić, and I am 8 years old. I go to the “Sveti Sava” Elementary School. I finished the first grade. I play soccer and I really love playing chess. I love going to the theatre in Novi Sad with my brother and watching puppet performances, and I also love watching the older kids from my town perform at the “Proscenijum”. This year I discovered children's opera, and I especially liked it because it is different. I love FEP because then everything is imaginative and colorful. I am very glad to be a member of the children's jury; I will pay special attention to the set design, the costumes, the puppets, and to how they made the props out of recycled materials.

Hello everyone, my name is Staša Štajn, I am 11 years old, and I was born on March 20, 2015. I finished the fourth grade at the “Sveti Sava” Elementary School. I love dance, acting, and music. I play the flute and I have been taking acting classes at the “Proscenijum” for three years now. I am very happy to be on the jury at FEP this year. I will pay attention to whether a performance awakens some emotions in me and leaves a pleasant impression.

My name is Mia Odžić. I was born on March 3, 2017. I attend the “Sveti Sava” Elementary School. I play volleyball, and I love dancing and acting. I am looking forward to being part of the jury at FEP because of the socializing and meeting new friends. The performance that I find the most interesting and that makes me laugh the most will get the best grade from me.

My name is Isidora Ivančić, and I am 11 years old. I love sports, I practice aikido and kayaking, and I take acting classes at the Drama Studio “Proscenijum”. I am a member of the traffic-safety club at the “Vuk Karadžić” Elementary School, which I also attend. I adore animals and dream of becoming a veterinarian one day. I love spending time in nature with my friends and family. I have a curious spirit and temperament, and so I expect performances that are fun and cheerful, with several actors and plenty of text. In terms of themes, I would like the performances to be about protecting nature and animals.

My name is Hana Pajović, and I was born in June 2017. Soon I am starting the third grade and the first grade of music school. I am also a member of the “Proscenijum” Drama Studio and the KUD “Kosta Abrašević”. I am proud to be a member of the FEP jury, because I adore theatre. When I judge at FEP, I will be guided by how much the actors weave themselves into the stage, how much they awaken our emotions, and what we can learn from the performance we are watching.

My name is Đorđe Marić. I was born on September 10, 2017, and I finished the second grade at the “Sveti Sava” Elementary School. I have been playing soccer for five years, and with my club I have won numerous medals at competitions. Besides sports, I have also competed successfully in mathematics and art, where I won national awards. In my free time I most love to draw, and my favorite subject is cars. I also enjoy watching films and theatre performances. I believe I will be a good jury member because I am curious, attentive, and fair, and I always try to be objective and honest toward others.

CHILDREN'S JURY MENTOR

My name is Danilo Milovanović Vukmanović. By profession I am an actor. I perform in productions at the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad. My favorite roles that I have created are Hades from the musical “Hair,” the Mercurian Biljan from the performance “After a Million Years,” and the king from the performance “The Snow Queen.” Younger audiences probably know me as Kimi from the series “Blok 27.” In my free time I play the Finnish game mölkky, take solo singing lessons at the Music School “Stevan Hristić” in Bačka Palanka, and sing in the film-music band “Šlagvort.” I am looking forward to this year's FEP and can't wait to hear the impressions of the children's jury.
