How to prepare

• When you come to a Polyglot performance, 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!

• Water, infants’ bottles and breastfeeding/chestfeeding are welcome, however we do ask that there is no eating (where possible) in the Paper Planet performance space.
• Baby change rooms are available at the venue.
• Food and drinks (including takeaway options) are available to purchase nearby from Embrace Cafe, MaryLou’s Cafe, and Twenty One Days Later.
• You are also welcome to BYO food and drinks to Glenroy Library for picnicking before or after Paper Planet. The Bridget Shortell Playground and Reserve offers green spaces for you and your family to enjoy.
