Inviting EOIs:
CAAP x Polyglot Theatre
Artist Jam

CAAP and Polyglot Theatre are partnering to introduce Asian Australian artists to the dynamic world of children’s theatre.

Delivered collaboratively by Contemporary Asian Australian Performance (CAAP), Australia’s only performing arts company with a remit for producing, developing and enabling Asian Australian works and artists to reach main stages nationally, and Polyglot Theatre, an internationally renowned pioneer in interactive theatrical experiences for young audiences, this day-long program immerses participants in the practices and process of both companies. Through an engaging blend of playful workshops and hands-on exploration, you’ll take to the floor for active participation, gaining invaluable insights into creating compelling theatre experiences for children, families, and communities

At the heart of this initiative is CAAP’s mission to create pathways for Asian Australian artists, fostering connections and enhancing representation in the arts sector. Recognising the need to cultivate diverse voices in theatre for young audiences, this one-day event is thoughtfully designed to foster a space where play and curiosity are central to creativity, encouraging participants to immerse themselves in the world of young people’s theatre with joy and enthusiasm.

Be prepared to be physically joyful, meet new people, and be part of an interactive creative practice jam.

Artist Jam will run Monday 11 November.

This opportunity is open to Asian Australian creatives at any career stage who are interested in participatory practice and/or working with children and families. This invitation is not limited to performers; sound designers, directors, set and costume designers and people running programs with children are all encouraged to apply.

Successful applicants will be paid a daily rate for attending the day-long event.
