WOK ‘N WAL
PRIMARY
P TO YEAR 7
Come and meet Wok and Wal, two of the funniest and
most loveable puppet characters from David Poulton’s
Theatre of Puppets.
Wal (Wally to be exact) is the anchorman of the show, a harassed Tour Manager having to contend
with Wok and his friends.
David Poulton leads his audience through a mixture of humorous sketches and touching tales,
bringing together a variety of puppetry skills, including Bunraku, hand puppets and mask. The
show is performed within a specially built theatre and can be adapted for any specific age group.
Wok ‘n Wal encourages the children to use their imagination and provides a wonderful stimulus for
creative work which can be developed later in the classroom.

THE LOST TALES
PRIMARY
P TO YEAR 7
This is a tale about a land. A land that all of us know too
well. A land of lost children.
A place where unanswered questions and missing answers live. A land where sweaty palms and
blank stares go to hide, where curious minds and new ideas are banished. Most of us have been
there but not everyone knows the way out. This tale maps the greatest escape. This acrobatic
production explores the common fear of not knowing the answer and being afraid to ask the
question. It is an interactive journey through maths problems and circus tricks, an adventure where
solutions are found and ideas are welcomed. The Lost Tales is about the times when thoughts are
on the tip of your tongue and the mounting pressure of performance blocks your brain. Maths is
not the hardest problem to solve and this production shows us why.

PRIMARY
P TO YEAR 7
Binni is a five-year-old girl caught up in the ‘got-to-have’ world of TV, toys, fast food and computer
games. Forced to turn off all her screens, Binni packs her bag, takes her teddy and runs away – to
her own backyard! Musically and visually rich, Binni’s Backyard has performed to hundreds of
Australian children, in theatres and community venues from the Torres Strait to Melbourne and
through regional Western Australia to Perth.
“From the moment [the actors] leapt on stage, the cast of Binni’s Backyard had their young
audience – and their older carers – entranced.”

HELLO SPACEBOY!

P TO YEAR 7
In this adventurous performance a young boy learns
about the role of creativity in personal identity and
relationships.
Max sits at home with nothing to do and like many other children he feels bored. Have their
imaginations abandoned them? Suddenly, there is a knock at his door from an Imaginaut who
invites Max on an adventure into outer space and the depths of his imagination. Does Max have
the courage to face his fears and can he use his powers of creativity to make the world safe for
people to dream again? Inspired by King Arthur’s early childhood and life, Hello Spaceboy! uses this
adventure to explore Max’s journey from Arthurian legends to Star Wars.

This is a fairytale of hope. The story of courage. Two
characters who have lost their carnival arrive at a
crossroad.
They are confined to their carousel caravan, a giant spinning picture book. This is where their
timeless tale unfolds. Can Carosella, the horse of hope, rise above the tyranny of fear and escape
The Author? Will this be enough to set them free? To discover the truth, dare to take a ticket and
enter a gypsy dream. Risk a race through time to know if the last performer will stay on for the ride.
Turn the pages of mask, dance, poetry, puppetry and song to see if happy endings really exist.

PRIMARY
P TO YEAR 7
Two boys are thrust back in time to a Queensland they
know little about.
Confusion reigns as they are caught up in the clash between the worlds of Indigenous people
and the newly arrived soldiers and convicts. The powerful sound of the didgeridoo, clapping
sticks and song, trigger shifts in time and place to reveal the past. Through the boys’ eyes, students
learn about historical figures and the devastating effect of the penal settlement on the traditional
owners of the land.

Is this a fairytale of hope or a corruption of power?
Two former headliners, Carosella and The Author, have lost their carnival. Now at a crossroad
they are dependent on their carousel caravan to survive. Their timeless tale is trapped in a giant
spinning manuscript where fear dictates destiny. Will Carosella escape his literary canon and
create her post modern memoir? Dare to discover the truth and take a ticket to a gypsy’s dream.
Risk a race through time to know if the last performer will stay on for the ride. Watch the pages of
carnivalesque turn to know if happy endings truly exist.

YEAR 8 TO 12
Told in the style of Hip Hop theatre, this is the true story of Candy B: a NIDA trained actor and
award winning rapper, born and raised in the suburbs by South African parents. Underscored
by a pumping sound track created by Candy’s real life sister the notorious Busty Beatz, the show
traverses the highs and lows, blocks and flows of growing up brown with an afro and big dreams in
Australia. The piece begins in Africa and quickly becomes episodic in structure, as Candy’s life from
Seena Bird Dance Academy at six years old, to drama school in her early 20’s and then her entry
into the entertainment industry is broken up by her mother’s journey of migration. Candy B’s mix
of storytelling, video, music and comedy has attracted young audiences across the country. The
themes of identity, culture, home and self-belief are at the heart of this connection. Her message is
to celebrate the diversity of this wide brown land.

In the midst of chaos and a dark secret that plagues her family, Sophie chooses her moment to
create a newer, better Sophie. Enter Kate and Gemma, her new best friends who will guide her
through the sometimes treacherous world of the school yard, who is cool, who is not, what to wear
and what to eat…This dynamic cast of three deliver a multiple character show that is a fast paced
and hard hitting exploration of the taboo subject of eating disorders. Sophie Is… inspires young
people to examine and discuss their own stories of struggle and oppression in order to achieve
greater confidence and control of their lives. This production is for anyone who has questioned
themselves without hope of an answer, for those who have felt muted in a world full of noise and
for anyone who is or has been a teenager.

BRINK
SECONDARY
YEAR 8 TO 12
Danger, fear and decision making are at the heart of this
acrobatic circus.
Navigating adolescence requires skill, balance and sense. This contemporary sideshow is about
everybody and anybody. It delves into the risks young people are tempted to take when
confronted by growing up. When is enough, enough? Tension is palpable on the edge. The mind
spins on the verge. What are the choices? What are the skills needed? To jump in or not? Take a
deep breath and examine the big picture, the importance of being informed and how building
reliable networks might just keep these acrobats alive.

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.
Two teenagers are searching for something different, something new, something unexplainable;
but can they find love? 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? This
engaging Cinematic Theatre experience fuses live performance and the big screen. Are the outer
orbits of cyber space the new frontier of young minds?

UNPLUGGED
SECONDARY
YEAR 8 TO 12
Unplugged is a dynamic production that explores how
people can conserve electricity and continue to live a
modern lifestyle.
It is an insight into contemporary young people’s rite of passage into adulthood and how the
choices they make engage them in greater environmental decisions about the planet. It’s a share
house where two young people are balancing study, work, cash, bills and how they can get to the
next big concert. Be inspired, confronted and laugh along with today’s real issues.
