whats at bloc that isnt music?
any crazy things being put on to entertain us whilst we take a break from dancing?
YO. Yes, there is LOADS
Aside from the massive aqua park which is open all day and free to get in, the sports bar, pool and snooker tables, go-karts, funfair, ten pin bowling and arcades which are already at Butlins, We will be providing the following extra-curricular entertainment.....
BlocTV Channel
BLOC TV is a broadcast unit embedded within the bloc organisation. They can reach your brains via the television units placed within each apartment, but don’t be alarmed – BLOC TV will broadcast positive vibes only. Containing a heady mix of live feeds from the stages and culturally progressive programming from all five corners of the solar system, BLOCTV will fill two whole channels 24 hours a day for the entire weekend.
BLOCTV1 will be a grab bag of live feeds from the venues (you need never miss a thing) from the comfort of your apartments) documentaries and boundary pushing music related video. Our centrepiece is a Bob Jaroc showcase, where the pioneering film maker made famous through his work with Plaid will be screening a selection of his favourite films and shorts along with his own creations.
BLOCTV2 concentrates on movies. A pulverising combo of horror, violence, martial arts, B-movies, arthouse, blaxploitation or the simple joys of 1980’s comedy, if you’re just feeling too delicate to leave your apartment there will be plenty to occupy your brainspace the whole weekend through.
BlocTV Film Crew
BLOCTV’s roaming camera crew will capture moving images of the crowd and acts in the ever changing maelstrom of light and sound that is BLOC. Make yourselves notorious by jumping in front of the camera and telling them something about yourselves.
Sky:BLOC
New for 2009 is the the Sky:BLOC Arena – a space-age overarching marquee structure covering the centre of the resort to create a hub for social interaction with other BLOC humans. It’s here that you will find our record fair, merchandise stands, rock and roll DJ’s and probably some snoozing BLOC family on the comfy sofas. Featured entertainment in the skyline includes;
[sat 8PM] The Hatwalk – featuring the bad hatters
Cabaret entertainment with a millinery bent
[sat 9PM] The French Connection Trio
A three piece jazz band from the wilds of the East (of England) performing techno covers
[sun 6PM] Ceephax Acid karaoke
All your favourite standards in an acid style, compered by Andrew ‘Ceephax’ Jenkinson
Sky:BLOC also features
DIGITAL GRAFFITI WALL
Internationally notorious street artists Cheba and Lokey will perform live painting, with a graffiti battle jam starting at 6pm on Saturday. Come to watch and vote for the winner, or give it a go yourself, fab fun for all the family.
HANDBAKED ARCADE
Mega drive, master system, super Nintendo – you wasted your youth, why not waste the rest of your life playing the consoles you had as a kid? Not just that, but thrash your friends – there will be competitions run throughout the weekend. Retro gaming fun for all the family! More info at www.handbakedarcade.co.uk
DIGITAL FUNFAIR
The funfair of the future, a wild digital ride into the unknown. If a circus came to town, and the town was the matrix, this would be it. Digital fun for all the family.
Visual Jockeying
The visuals at BLOC are co-ordinated by BLOC TV. They work with world class VJ’s to produce a brain busting sensory overload visual installation that will transport you to a new, better dimension.
