GLOW AND TELL – An Interactive Light-filled Storytelling Adventure

GLOW AND TELL – An Interactive Light-filled Storytelling Adventure

Blending the magic of light and simplicity of storytelling, our Year 1 students were placed at the centre of this engaging interactive experience right here at SAC. Using UV light in a custom-built tent, the classroom was transformed into an intimate performance space where stories and imagined worlds came alive as glowing drawings appeared on the walls and floor. Following the performance, students created and illustrated their own stories in glowing UV light on the walls and floor of the tent.

Our Performer, Ayden, a Narungga man, shared a unique story exploring themes of family and culture and it was loved by all our students.

“My spirit animals was a fish because I like the look of water and seaweed and I really like swimming.” Yasvi

“You could make drawings with the lights, so it was like magic!” Shanaya

“I learnt the story about the fisherman. It said there was a great white shark who took all the spears!” Onara

“I really liked it because was got to try it too and it was different to normal drawing on paper. It was cool how your drawing disappeared.” Nina

“Aden’s spiritual totem was a butterfish, he drew a butterfish and then told us a story of the Butterfish. Aden is a great drawer.” Ayana 

“We were able to use a stencil to trace or we could draw our own things with our glow pen. I loved it so much!” Isla
