Bart Price is a larp (or live action role-play) designer and experimental filmmaker based in London. After having created and organised the larp group (2023) — a simulation of a group therapy session involving 14 participants — he is now working on a film project exploring the intersection of role-play, therapy and the construction of self. Projects and interests prior to his current work have included making video art playing with AI neural network language models, co-directing two post-theatrical performances at the V&A — UBU (2018) and Hamletine (2019) — as well as creating DIY iPhone/stock footage music videos for Black Country, New Road (in addition to being album artist and creative director for BC,NR’s 2021 Mercury Prize shortlisted debut album For the first time) and the now Oscar-nominated Jerskin Fendrix among others. In 2024, he organised a group therapy larp as part of the Immersion Festival at the Tehdas Teatteri in Turku (Finland), as well as another exploring the internal politics of an art gallery at Courtney Jaeger in Basel (Switzerland). In 2023, he showed work at the Muse Gallery in London, and in 2022 he was shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize — with his video work being shown as part of an exhibition at York Art Gallery — as well as being exhibited in the show ‘Unite. Create. Transform.’ at StreetLife Hub (as part of the Aesthetica Short Film Festival 2022). In addition to his creative practice he also has interviewed the avant-garde theatre/opera director Robert Wilson, for the London-based arts/culture magazine The Toe Rag (2024). Having for a time studied English Literature at Cambridge University, as well as at the Ruskin School of Art (Oxford University), he completed a BA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts in 2023.
