POWER TO MAKE A CHANGE: THE SURFACE
Four teenagers. One school day.
And an invitation that changes everything.
Behind the noise of the classroom and the rush of the corridors, four students are quietly struggling with focus, confidence, fear, and the feeling that they’re not enough. When they are offered the chance to enter The Surface, a flawless parallel world promising to erase their problems and wipe away the differences holding them back, they don’t hesitate.
Inside this polished reality, sameness is rewarded and individuality begins to disappear. As they travel deeper into this warped world, smiles widen, movement sharpens, and the choices they make start to cost more than they realise. Beneath the perfection, something unsettling begins to surface.
Through Dance, movement and spoken word, Power to Make a Change takes audiences on a gripping journey through identity, pressure and the dangerous cost of conformity. The show puts a spotlight on the realities many young people face today - social media pressure, ADHD, dyslexia, body image and anxiety.
Written and directed by Erina Lewis and movement direction and development by award-winning Kenrick H20 Sandy MBE.
Will they break free...or disappear into perfection?
