'This is a real departure from the traditional science lecture. Science is often associated with tough words and numbers but it can be truly beautiful. We hope Visualise will open the eyes of a whole new audience to science' Wendy Sadler 'science made simple’s founder

British Council and the Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem presented Visualise - the beauty of science - a live science demonstration show with a difference, during the Hanukka holiday 8-12 December 2007

Less explanation; more exploration.

Visualise - the beauty of science is a truly engaging spectacle, an experiment that began by removing all all language from science made simple’s award-winning interactive science presentations. Physical theatre, live demonstrations, projected images and music combine to create a wordless experience of wonder. There is no trickery. It’s live. Ordinary objects are used in extraordinary ways, to create swirling whirlwinds, giant smoke rings and dancing flames. The lack of language means that the show is suitable for all ages. The playful mix of interactive experiment and mischievous fun aims to spark curiosity and encourages audiences to make their own observations and discoveries, igniting their curiosity and ultimately motivating them to find out for themselves how the world works.

Visualise – the beauty of science had its premiere in August 2007 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The award-winning Welsh company ‘science made simple’ was shortlisted for the prestigious Total Theatre Award for Experimentation, after beating off stiff competition from over 400 competing productions. The company has a mission to inspire and engage a wide range of audiences with science.  It specialises in creating highly visual presentation using a blend of everyday items and stage props to help audiences conceptualise scientific phenomena. The company was commissioned by the Britsh Council to develop Visualise for its Beautiful Science project.
