Light & Reflection Workshop

The experience begins as the audience enters a darkened space, drawn by a single light illuminating a Victorian-style laboratory. The atmosphere is immediately set by the sound of a steam train and a dramatic burst of smoke, creating the illusion of a platform arrival.

A dynamic Steampunk Time-Traveling Scientist then emerges, launching into an interactive discussion about the audience's own journeys, immediately fostering engagement and curiosity.

There will be key Learning and Engagement which includes; Scientific Principles, Historical Context, Adaptability, and A Memorable Conclusion

Key Learning & Engagement:

• Scientific Principles: The performance delves into the science of light reflection, refraction, and shadow formation using striking visual aids, including specialized prisms, custom-designed shadow puppet theatre, and a collection of unique plasma balls.

• Historical Context: The scientist recounts meetings with famous historical figures in science, weaving history into the core scientific concepts.

• Adaptability: The show is highly flexible. All shadow puppets are custom-designed, allowing us to seamlessly integrate themes and requests to align with your specific annual science curriculum or topic of study.

• A Memorable Conclusion: The program culminates in a hands-on activity with the creation of glow-in-the-dark slime.

This performance is a unique blend of theatre and education, designed to inspire curiosity and deliver clear scientific understanding in an unforgettable way.
