Year 1 Drama/Arts Excursion – Patch Theatre’s Superluminal
Year 1 Drama/Arts Excursion – Patch Theatre’s Superluminal
Beautiful and magical, colourful and immersive, Patch Theatre’s Superluminal blended bold visual design, collaborative storytelling, and interactive play for our Year 1 SAC students
As our young students entered Superluminal, they received colour-changing lanterns to use throughout the installation. Guided by a talented performer, they journeyed through five interactive spaces to reveal hidden animal tracks and discovered animals from the past, present, and possible future. Our students created their own mythical creatures, brought them to life with recorded sounds and spectacular rainbow lighting, and captured their fantastical shadows on a magical glow wall. Presented at the South Australian Museum, Superluminal was an engaging experience designed to ignite our student’s curiosity. A theatrical installation full of Patch Theatre’s renowned interactive light play, Superluminal investigates nature’s extraordinary creatures, systems and beauty, and how time shapes them.

Students’ reflections:
” I really liked the room with the glow in the dark footprints on the floor. I like how they changed with the different coloured light and the music that went with it.” Maya Simeone
“When we went to Superluminal, my two favourite parts were the shadow room. We made shadows on the walls using cardboard cutouts and they would slowly fade so we could add more. I also liked the room with the glow stones, they glowed in the UV lights. It even made our watches and socks glow.” Gwenevere Wood
“My favourite room was the room with pictures on the walls. When the light changed so did the pictures.” Amilia Tang
“I really liked doing the animal calls and the movement room where we had to freeze – It was really fun. I also liked the glowing stones and the lights.” Dishani Bhatt
“My favourite part was when all of the different animals appeared on the screens, and I really liked the rocks.” Scarlett-Liy Sen
“I liked it when we went to the room where we could make animals out of plastic connector shapes, and we got to take them down a river and took them to different lands.” Eva Tattoli
