C&T

C&T are an award-winning theatre company who work with schools, community groups and the private sector to encourage creative learning through a combination of drama and new media. We've worked with them on a number of online projects:

www.candt.org
This, C&T's core site, includes all that you'd expect from a website and more; a feed from their school-networked site, podcasts and video - as well as encouraging further interaction with C&T through integration with Facebook, You Tube and Twitter.

“Re-inventing documentary drama in the age of YouTube, C&T’s own brand of Living Newspapers turn your students into citizen journalists.”

The Living Newspaper site is ultra-simple, featuring three columns: one links to recent news stories; the second shows some of the video/dramas that have been produced, based on actual news; the third column features more about the project, and tips on how to make your own Living Newspaper.

Vlex is a new and evolving online game – with a twist. Developed by C&T for their network of schools, it’s played by syncing a Wii controller to a computer, and allows players to shape, control and adapt 3-d environments; with new levels added by the young people themselves.

We designed and built the site to help C&T launch the game at the International Drama in Education Research Institute (IDiERI) conference which was held in Sydney, Australia in Summer 2009.

A Shakespearean-based, technological Top Trumps, C&T devised 2nd Folio for their schools network. It allows players to interpret the language and meanings behind some of the Bard's most potent quotes using traditional playing cards, QR codes/readers, online video and drama.

Performed and played across C&T's network of schools in the UK, and internationally, the project combines rigorous drama methods with innovative use of digital media and ICT.
