TICKETS UPDATE 11th April 2006

==============================



TICKETS ARE NOW ONSALE!! You can follow this link to the online Shop to make your purchase. If you buy a ticket with the forthcoming DVD you will get a �3 discount. Please note that the price of �25 will only be valid until the 13th June









Finally, we have a venue for play

Thanks for being so patient, the location for PLAY is now confirmed as being at Fordhall Farm, Market Drayton, Shropshire. TF9 3PS



The gates will be open from 10am Thursday 22nd June until 6pm Monday 26th June (yes that's FIVE days ) and will cost the princely sum of �25 in advance and �30 from two weeks prior to the festival. The tickets will be on sale from Sunday 2nd April right up until the event. The ticket price covers all facilities and events once onsite (bar, food & drink etc excluded of course) all workshops, the show(s), the childrens creche area etc etc etc



A beautiful organic farm set in the countryside (although 5 minutes from the town of Market Drayton) that will make for the most wonderful setting for this years (and hopefully many more) PLAY Festival.

(Please visit the Fordhall Farm website, they need to raise �600,000 by July 2006 to stop this beautiful fertile place from becoming yet another industrial development, if you can help their cause please do so )



It has great links to the M6 motorway via the A53 and for non car users we will post all info about the local transport situation asap. There isn't a train station that's particularly close but we will be laying on a PLAY Bus to make collections to/from the station as often as possible to help everyone out. There may be a very small charge for this (ie a quid or two) to cover the cost of the driver etc.



I will keep this post updated and of course keep your eyes on the PLAY Website and forum for the most up to date information.



If you could keep your questions in the PLAY Forum we'd much appreciate it as it will help us keep some control and ensure we answer as many as possible. It'll save Malcolms badwidth a little too.....



Hope to see you all there!

Let's relight this forum

thats the footage i have dude, it was my camera up there, ive not copied it to anyone yet ........



It wasnt that great as the dude filming spent alot of time zoomed in to see what was going on.



Ive got 4 angles of the whole thing and not one of them shouts "coreography"







Either way it looks sweet and will be on the dvd

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

ah, sounded like you were talking about a still somehow..

I wasn't intending to imply I didn't think burning man probably had it bigger, people were talking about that at the time. '500 + doing it at bm' etc, though they all seemed to think they were just free spinning.

I guess the important bit's the attempt at choreography, it doesn't matter how inept people are

is it really that bad or is it just that their chosen stall looks almost the same as their chosen action move?

the best thing about the GWR fire spin, was going in the warm after, having a cuppa tea and a fatty bobatty

Hoppers are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

What the hell is a 'Fatty BoBatty'??

Ahhh...

I was thinking of a bacon barm/submarine... How innocent am I?

"I used to want to change the world, now I just wanna leave the room with a little dignity..." - Lotus Weinstock

i wouldnt say its that bad at all.....

it just looks like a "mass burn" thats all,...... the timing is off and there are some confused / impatient people that start / dont start when they are supposed to, from a distance at the big top it looks like a swarm of fireflies (which is real nice and is very likley to make the dvd front menu somewhere)

you'll see soon enuf

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

I have seen strugz footage and I agree choreographed is not a word I would use... but i did look nice. I shall be at the next play avoiding the camera's and again with a different car I'll help you film again if you need it strugz.

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

So when can we expect the DVD to come out?

Cake or Death?

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

Alrigh, we'll celebrate with the (then) recently released HyperLights

Cake or Death?

wicked - if you want a promo section for them on there dude, gimme a pm maybe a little vid clip etc - just a thought

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

You mean you've not got any footage from the festival itself?!

Cake or Death?

uh oh.. rumbled

Having seen one example of the record attempt I would consider it choreographed, which is odd because I didn't while I was filming it, though I did have to watch the footage numerous times very carefully

What makes the attempt more visually confusing is the circle formation and I think the choreography would have been more apparent had the spinners been in a pyramid, all facing in one direction with the 2 hoops at the front through to all the poi spinners at the back.

I also thought the original plan was for the drummers to keep the spinners in time but they didn't seem to start playing until the choreography had been completed.

Even if they had started earlier it would've been difficult for most people to differentiate where each part of the routine should've been within the rhythm so accompanying music may have made it easier to regulate the speed.



My university term ends in the middle of June so I'll be free for filming again next year

Ok guys plans for PLAY 2007 are as follows:



25th July (wednesday) - official start

28th July (sunday) - official end



Hope that sheds sum light for you

No way!

Ending 2 days before the EJC starts is going to be a huge pain for me - I wanted to go to both, but it looks like 1 of them will have to go

There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees
