from the Australian government to tour Letter's End nationally in 2009. The Australian tour spanned five and a half months and incorporated 43 venues and 91 performances (see reviews). Reviewing for The Mercury, Robert Jarman noted "the show combines comedy and pathos, mime, magic and sleight of hand, shadow puppetry, film and sound in an exemplary and enchanting mix. The sheer amount of invention is staggering." In August 2010, Letter's End was nominated for a Helpmann Award for Best Regional Touring Production. In 2013, Bowart was again invited to participate at the London International Mime Festival. His season of Letter's End at the Southbank Centre marked the production's UK premiere.

The Man the Sea Saw Bowart's Australian premiere of The Man the Sea Saw took place in 2011. He undertook a 66-show national tour that spanned 27 venues and concluded with a season at His Majesty's Theatre in Perth, Western Australia, where The Man the Sea Saw headlined the 2011 Awesome Festival.

In 2012, The Man the Sea Saw was nominated for a Helpmann Award for Best Visual or Physical Theatre Production. In 2014, Bowart undertook a 7-city of China and South Korea with The Man the Sea Saw. The tour marked Bowart's Chinese premiere.
