Lightswitch helps to tell the story with theatrical magic by changing the time of day, the seasons, the weather and by shifting focus to the “characters” when they speak.

What It Was

The Buffalo Bill Cultural Center’s main attraction is the newly renovated Plains Indians Museum that honors Native American history, culture, and way of life. The Seasons of Life is a unique multi-media experience, which takes the audience on a journey that celebrates the Native American culture.

What We Did

Lightswitch helps to tell the story with theatrical magic by changing the time of day, the seasons, the weather and by shifting focus to the “characters” when they speak.

Why It Worked

Lightswitch was able to transform an otherwise stagnant 130x90 ft. diorama into a living breathing theatre piece, thereby creating a memorable learning experience.
