Beyond the Surface - Connected Britain
Performance, workshops & teaching materials
Exploring both the risks and rewards in a connected world

"It is remarkable that each year you give us something special both in terms of the drama performances but also in the workshops. The responses of the pupils throughout the day and their comments to us the following week indicate just how much they enjoyed and appreciated it"
Head of PSHE Haberdashers Aske's School




We invented a 'fly-on-the-wall' documentary called 'Beyond the Surface' and created a live show and a film around it. The episode "Connected Britain" is fast paced, involving and informing as we flick between two young people watching the show, the secretly recorded people in the show and a range of other programmes, adverts and media influences.
The format is brilliant for involving everyone as it creates scope to look at all the issues related to our connections and how our self esteem and relationships are affected by technology.
The live shows and workshops are adapted to be age appropriate and relevant to each year group. For younger years we physicalise the internet and bring our TV screen to life, for the older years we embark on interactive activities and discussions.
