SECTION 1: ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE BLUEBACK is an extraordinary work, and one of the richest resources on offer for any teacher – the very best vehicle to get any child reading. Tim Winton’s exquisite language is translated into an aural narrative between a mother and her son. Juxtaposed by a visual world transforming between underwater swims with a life-sized groper and the coastal town Abel Jackson calls home. Blueback is a not only a comprehensive feast of general capability skills it spans numerous learning areas. Lists, seasons, cycles of life, the fishing industry, sustainability, ethical understanding, personal and social capability are all very present. The fusion of aural and visual media provides experimentation and investigation in music, the drama of the story telling using puppets and people. Economics and business is at the heart of a developer wanting to buy the place Abel and his Mother call home.

The School of Puppetry Workshops run for 1.5 hours and can cater for up to 30 students per workshop. We have the ability to run two workshops simultaneously. Workshops Available – all workshops will have an ocean theme this tour

Hand Puppet: This workshop is our most popular! By making their own unique puppet using a range of soft fabric materials, children learn about how character can be constructed through elements of design (colour, shape, texture). Age suitability: 4+

Marionette: Marionette making is a workshop designed to open children’s minds to how they can construct puppets that move on stage! By making their own puppets using string and soft materials, children learn how elements of weight and balance influence puppet movement. This workshop requires some technical ability. Age suitability: 6+. More complex sessions available for 8+

Performing: Acting, story creation, puppet manipulation and play. This workshop introduces children to performance skills through improvisation and storytelling and is a great addition to a puppet making workshop, or enjoy using our professionally made collection of puppets. Age suitability: 7+
