Overview
Placing children at the centre of this engaging interactive experience, Glow & Tell blends the magic of light and the simplicity of storytelling.
Using UV light, in a custom-built tent, the room is transformed into an intimate performance space, where stories and imagined worlds come alive as glowing drawings appear on the walls and floor.
Following the performance, students are invited to create and illustrate their own stories in glowing UV light.
