PATCH presents 'push.to.play'

'push.to.play' is a celebration of the creative community at the University of Sussex, curated by student collective PATCH.

In the auditorium, experience an explosive live display of experimental music, visuals and performance from students and alumni, featuring sets from Robinson's Village, the ambient project of James Burns, electronic duo Noise Peddler (Danny Bright and Lee Westwood) and sound artist and producer Furrowed (Dylan Beattie), who will be joined on stage by Cederick Knox for an improvisation involving a grand piano and a live-cut record.

Theatre Maker Emma Bean presents 'Concepts of a Plan', an audience participatory experience. Her breath and vocal work piece brings a sense of “held-ness”, grounding and freedom of movement. This moment (approximately 20 minutes) is about breaking down the usual barriers audiences feel when observing work, and introducing them to a more collaborative environment.

In the Café Bar, we invite you to a DIY open-mixer sandbox where you can play with some of the gear featured in the show.

We aim for this pilot event to provide a platform to meet like-minded people and encourage collaboration with others.

PATCH is a growing collective committed to producing an event that excites and inspires curiously inclined individuals. They are particularly focused on creating a space for students to interact with creative technology and express enthusiasm for how we can push the boundaries of live performance.

Presented by Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts.
