Play! is a multi-disciplinary, one day micro-festival of the performing arts, lectures and film, developed in a partnership between The Firestation and Royal Holloway, University of London. With events from a wide range of departments, including Drama, Music, Media Arts, Classics, English and History, there truly is something for everyone!
Play! sees us open up all of our spaces to the use of students, academic staff and practitioners to showcase work in progress, final pieces, talks, dance, music, opera, theatre and film. Forget your usual theatre tickets – Play! allows you to roam between spaces and events at your leisure, giving you the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the whole line-up.
With a wide selection already on offer, The Firestation and Royal Holloway, University of London are also proud to announce the inclusion of composer Brian Lock (Senior Lecturer in Music at Royal Holloway, and composer of film, media and experimental music) and flautist Susan Milan (Former Principal Flute of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), presenting a Concerto for Clarinet, Percussion and Screen and the UK premiere of Dreams and Memoryscapes for Flute, iPad and Birds. The piece marries together technological thought and ideas from the cutting-edge of fusion, cross-genre and electronica modern music into a meaningful composition that you can easily connect with and respond to emotionally.
