The Owl's Apprentice is the
story of a young owl learning to become wise!
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, and
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.
His
teacher, Mr Tawny, sends him to get a book from a library in a far-off
city. On his way, he meets other animals who share with him their own
special breed of wisdom. He meets a wombat who tells him to keep trying
and not give up. He meets a Lyrebird who teaches him to listen very
carefully to what he hears. He meets a Kookaburra who makes him laugh even
when he’s sad. He meets an echidna who shows him how to protect himself
and a platypus who shows him it’s okay to be different.
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?
The Owl’s Apprentice
is an interactive solo show that uses a combination of shadow puppetry,
hand puppetry and story-telling. The show is about our unique Australian
animals and draws on the 16 Habits of Mind. The Owl’s Apprentice poses
questions with the aim of extending young minds.
