Artistic Ethos
Polyglot places children at the heart of our art. Our vision is of a world where all children are powerful: artistically, socially and culturally.
OUR MISSION
Polyglot’s mission is to make innovative and daring theatre which provides children everywhere the opportunity for imagination and adventure through participation. We offer transformational and playful arts experiences that are alive and human in their content and connection. We relish the endless possibilities in theatre and performance for this very specific audience, providing scope for an extraordinary range of form and style. We are committed to advocating for the right of all children to experience arts and culture, promoting the importance of children as a discerning audience from a young age.
