FEAST

• Children and families choose how they interact with the performers, the workshop space, and the materials.
• You can come and go from FEAST at any time during the sessions. Some families might like to stay for 10 mins, others an hour.
• FEAST will take place indoors, in a foyer. There will be activity around the workshop space, including movement and noise.
• FEAST does not use bright or flashing lights or amplified sound.

How to prepare

• When you come to a Polyglot workshop, we recommend you wear comfortable clothing that allows you to enjoy moving. Remember that you have come for an adventure and there are many ways to begin finding your play. You are curious and this space is yours. Just as you might at the beach, do you take your time and dip your toe in to warm up, or do you run and jump right in? The worlds we set up welcome you to take your time and find your own way to your imaginative play; and our performers are there to join you, or play alongside you, and look after these worlds and their inhabitants. See you soon!

• Baby change facilities are available, and these are wheelchair accessible.
• There will be designated pram parking in a covered area near the foyer entry.
• Water, infants’ bottles and breastfeeding/chestfeeding are welcome, but we do ask that there is no eating in the FEAST workshop space where possible.
• Fiesta Mini Café in The Count’s will have kid-popular food available, along with live music at lunchtimes with mini seating set-up, colouring activities and free babyccinos. There are lots of other options available on campus too: monash.edu/food-and-retail/vendors
• You are also welcome to BYO food and drinks for picnicking before or after FEAST. The campus features numerous open green spaces.
