Term 3: The Social Me
SECONDARY - YEAR 8 TO 12
Log on to a digital diary that tracks the ups and downs, seductions and snares of social media.
Developed in consultation with Sunnybank and Marsden State Schools, The Social Me is an engaging Cinematic Theatre experience that fuses live performance and the big screen.
Are the outer orbits of cyber space the new frontier of young minds? Two teenagers are searching for something different, something new, something unexplainable.
Michael and Ellie connect online and it’s love at first byte. But who are they really and when are they being themselves? Is this flirtatious fun or dangerous deception?
