A month-long residency at Officer Primary School as part of the Victorian Government's Artists-in-Schools program, directed by Jenny Ellis in collaboration with choreographer Justine Warner. A group of Year 5 students led the process, writing an original script, designing the puppets and making six large-scale puppets. The 150 students in school worked together to make the puppets and props and to perform the show "The Legend of the Landshark" outside on a beautiful summer's evening. The story was about a shark who mutated in a toxic waste spill, to grow legs and become a "Landshark." He meets a magical rainbow Narwhal who tells him that the pollution is coming from an evil glow-in-the-dark cookie factory, who has been draining the vital essense of a dragon to make their cookies glow. With the help of a tortise with lazer guns, the Landshark makes his way through the city to the factory, which is defended by a square-headed group of robots and a giant man-eating worm.
