About the Artist

Playable Streets (PS) is a participatory arts company creating invitations to play and collaborate in public places. We are a collective of theatre makers, composers, engineers, visual artists and interaction designers at the forefront of contemporary arts practice. We utilise technology, design, dramaturgy and sound to build environments that encourage norm~bending connections. PS is driven to investigate ways of building connection, bridging social gaps and confronting perceived differences through experiments in performance and installation. PS works have toured nationally and internationally, engaging participants of all ages and abilities.

 

ABOUT THE PLANTS

Have you ever made music with a marigold? Composed with a chrysanthemum? Or listened to some lavender? Connect with nature! Reach out and touch real plants to play these unique organic instruments.

The Plants are new experimental musical instruments that combine organic matter and bespoke digital sensors developed by Playable Streets. For the first-time these plant-based instruments are available for the public to play and create new live compositions.

Swelling with textural waves and phasing rhythmic movement, The Plants will be unlike any musical instrument you have ever seen, heard or played. The Plants installation is open to everyone to interact with, explore, and make new collaborative compositions.
