Hello everyone and welcome to PLAY FESTIVAL 2007!!



Please forgive me for the lack of info, I have no computer to use and it'll be a few weeks more until I'm able to update it more often. I'll come back and put more up as and when I can.



Hopefully most of this info you'll have gotten from our newsletter, if not sign up to it on the website now! www.playfestival.co.uk



We had a wonderful 5 days last year and can only say that 2007 will be even better!



Thanks to everyone who came last year and who gave us feedback on what they thought of the festival, we've taken all comments on board and hope we can make the festival one that you'll enjoy even more than the last.



The dates for this years festival will be Wednesday 25th - Sunday 29th July and we will be at the same venue, Fordhall Farm in Market Drayton, Shropshire. The tickets will be £35 in advance and £40 on the door, that will include most workshops, 4 nights camping, the shows and other entertainments during the festival



We have lots planned for this years festival, more areas to play in with the emphasis on getting everyone involved, we will have a proper go at the world record after last years attempt didn't go so well (although it does look awesome on video!!!) and of course the usual abundance of workshops to keep you all busy in the day.

We'll have two stages this year, the main stage/tent and and nice little caberet tent, a solar powered cinema, a PROPER bar & food tent and a few more folks selling the stuff you want to buy (even if you don't realise it yet! heheh)



New for this year will be the PLAY HOP Amateur Performance of the year. It's a little competition we've come up with that can be entered by anyone for any type of performance. No more than 4 minutes long with a cash prize for the winner and the chance to feature on the next PLAY DVD. As you might guess from the title the event is sponsored by HomeofPoi.com (who have proudly given us the prizes for our games over the last two years). More details will follow soon...



The DVD of last years festival will be out at some point, probably exactly at the time we plan it to come out Focusing more on spreading knowledge to learn the arts than the last DVD and we're sure it'll knock your socks off!

If anyone wants specific footage from last years festival please wait until after the DVD is out, Strugz & co are busy enough editing the full thing to start making cuts for people! Thanks

Bov, he wears black rubber and has a young boy who wears green speedos (or tights) stay with him... how much more gay can he be?

although a bat workshop - why not? we could all be blindfolded and must find our way around through hearing alone, then turn it into a kind of flipped version of blind mans buff? the funny image of people falling over each other seems a good enough reason to do it!

When I was teaching outdoor ed we used to play a game with the kids where you'd be in pairs, one person would shout, and the other "seek" - except that the seekers keep their eyes shut or are blindfolded throughout.. All the shouters would each take someone else's seeker to a random point in the field and spin them apround a few times, then all the shouters would gather in a line (from which they then don't move) and, on a cue, all start shouting for their seeker.. Winning pair are the first two reunited...
And there's all kinds of fun to be had with leading blindfolded folks around..
And while you're flipping blind man's bluff around, why not some alternate version of "squeak piggy squeak"?
"Murder in the dark" with the dark being provided by blindfolds?
Ooh.. All sorts of bat-possibilities...
