Trinket the Robot - 6 August
A Little Robot Who Longs To Become "Real"
– But is he ready for what it means to be alive?
Trinket the Robot is an enthralling tale about a little robot who longs to become “real” – but is he ready for what it means to be alive? An inventor, Dr Doovalacky, sets out to build a robot with the help of his assistant, a green caterpillar named Gizmo. But this robot will be no ordinary robot. Trinket will be able to have feelings like a “real human,” and the audience needs to help him learn about the world. Trinket learns that to become human is not only to feel wonder and joy, but also to feel anger, fear and the sadness of having to say goodbye to someone when you don’t want to.
Based on the tale of Pinocchio, Trinket the Robot is a lively, funny, interactive solo show by Little Wing Puppets that explores emotions and offers ways for children to understand different feelings.

AI in 2025: Where are we at in the arts?
Our first 2025 talk was held on 9 April with Dr Ben Eltham on the impact generative Artificial Intelligence is having on the arts. It’s been a fast-moving space. It's one of the campaign issues for Save Our Arts. We talked about what cultural policy advocates want considered this Federal Election, and where the regions fit into the picture.
