Unique colour and sound experience set to hit Rochdale Town Hall Square

Unique colour and sound experience set to hit Rochdale Town Hall Square

 

Rochdale Town Hall Square will explode in a riot of colour next month, with the arrival of a unique event, which has toured all over the world.

 

Colourscape, a colour and sound show, will take over the space in front of the Grade I listed building over the early May Bank Holiday weekend. Visitors of all ages are invited to wander around specially created structures which will be filled with radiant colour, while discovering musicians and dancers along the way.

 

During the experience, musicians Ansuman Biswas, Sylvia Hallett and Michael Ormiston, will lead the public on a unique journey of the elements of Air, Earth and Water with unusual instruments including Tibetan Singing Bowls, amplified bicycle wheel and waterphones to link with themes of the environment.

 

The organisers behind Colourscape, Eye Magic Trust, have toured it around the world, with audiences in London, China, Amsterdam, and Iceland taking part in the unique experience.

 

The event is part of a fun packed weekend of celebrations, with the Rochdale Science extravaganza also taking place inside the town hall. Organised by the Rochdale Science Initiative and Rochdale Town Hall, The Science Extravaganza will feature an array for hands on activities, interactive exhibitions and mind boggling scientific demonstrations for young and old alike. As part of this, people can enjoy a sensory installation, where they can create their own music and colour with laser movement sensors.

 

In addition, a live animal experience will allow people to get up close and personal with an array of different species. Visitors can meet also superheroes from the world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), including professors from the University of Manchester and the Royal Society of Chemistry.

 

The Colourscape experience is taking place on Town Hall Square on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th May between 11am and 4pm, with the music playing between 11.30am and 3.30pm.
