ScreenPlay

EVENT:

ScreenPlay

LOCATION:

The Clore Ballroom - The Royal Festival Hall

DURATION:

Ongoing

THE BRIEF:

To create a huge video wall for the Clore Ballroom, fill it with content and keep it up and running 7 days a week for months at a time.

DESCRIPTION:

GaiaNova has supported The Southbank Centre over several years with the delivery of  the ScreenPlay project. ScreenPlay's first manifestation lasted five weeks in April - May 2009 and was heralded as a huge success.  It was an almost continuous feature of the Clore Ballroom from October 2009 - May 2010.  It returned once again in July 2010 for the launch of the Southbank Centre's Brazil season and there are further dates planned.

ScreenPlay has shown a diverse range of work from video designers and film-makers, has served as a backdrop to hundreds of different performances within the space and has featured free live relays of sell-out shows upstairs in the Royal Festival Hall from some of the world's best known classical artists.

The ScreenPlay project has constantly required the dual approach to problem-solving and design that is GaiaNova's speciality.  From the technology used for playback to the content design, every decision has had to be approached with an understanding of both of its technical and creative implications.

GaiaNova has worked to support the Southbank Centre's in-house Production department and Learning and Participation team in an ongoing relationship through every step of the project.

Just a few of the many Artists and Organisations who have been involved in the project are listed below....

Steve Reich, The Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra, Maestro Daniel Barenboim, The London Philharmonic Orchestra, The Philharmonia Orchestra, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Marks and Spencer AGM.
