A NORPA education production featured at HOTA, Home of the Arts

Laboratory of Light

Part theatre and part interactive research project, Laboratory of Light provides a theatrical lens through which teachers and students will engage with the Science syllabus.

THE PERFORMANCE

Welcome to the curious and wonder-filled world of Luminous — a backyard scientist and inventor. Luminous never wants to be in the dark again, so is on a mission to understand and capture light.

Luminous spends all night conducting experiments in the Laboratory of Light in the hope that one day this will lead to recognition and fame. Darkness is lonely and needs a friend but Luminous is afraid of the dark!

One full moon night, as an electromagnetic wave travels through the Milky Way, Luminous’ most ambitious invention traps the smallest unit of light, a photon!  This leads to an unlikely trio setting off on an adventurous discovery.

THE EXPERIENCE

The adventure begins with the arrival of education resources prior to attending the performance. Resources are delivered via Google Classroom with in-character audio files guiding students through self-directed experiments and activities. Resources include worksheets, info sheets, and a quiz, using science as a tool to understand and engage with the world.

On the day of the performance your class will spend time with Luminous in the Laboratory of Light. The performance will feature original contemporary music compositions.
