Polyglot Inspiring People Society (PIPS) is a group of young people who contribute to the testing of ideas in the creation of new work, and to the company’s continuing education of how young people think and collaborate. PIPS are invited to participate in, and give feedback on, works in development and shows already in programming circulation. They offer their opinions and their creativity, energy and joy.

The philosophy of PIPS extends to Polyglot’s consultation and testing of new work in schools. Each year Polyglot is fortunate to forge new relationships with young people in schools in the early stages of creative development. In line with Polyglot’s child-led approach to making work, these collaborations are an invaluable part of the process.

PIPS is an opportunity for Polyglot to expand on its rare and valuable connection with children and to foster a community of astute and deep-thinking young people. It is an opportunity for fun, enrichment, connection and true collaboration. Making an ongoing commitment to PIPS not only continues to nourish the future of Polyglot, it also has the potential for children to contribute to a wider theatrical culture of respect and equality, with the development of new leaders and creative thinkers.
