The Owl’s Apprentice is an interactive solo show which uses a combination of shadow puppetry, hand puppetry and story-telling. The show is about our unique Australian animals as well as drawing on the 16 Habits of Mind. The Owl’s Apprentice poses questions with the aim of extending young minds.
Owl’s aren’t born wise, you know, they have to learn it from somewhere…A young owl named Poot Poot has been sent to Owl School to learn to become wise. He’s not like the other owls: he doesn’t know how to fly, he misses his family, he just wants to go home. He knows the only way he can go home is by gaining “wisdom,” but he doesn’t even know what that is.
On his journey, he finds that wisdom isn’t just one thing, it’s many things. It’s a collection of all the little things you learn every day. But when a bushfire threatens the Owl School, will Poot Poot be able to use his newly gained wisdom to save the forest?
