Acknowledgment of country

Polyglot acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and create, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. For more than 65,000 years, children and families have created and played here, and we are grateful to make our art on this country too.

Alice is an actor, director, educator, and professional Pram Wrangler (Pram People, Polyglot). She is currently the Artistic Associate at St Martins Youth Arts and an acting teacher at the Victorian College of the Arts. She loves art that’s necessary; serving a community that doesn’t often get to participate in performance, or excavating a point of view that’s urgent. She directed Security (Darebin Arts Speakeasy, 2022), and she was the directing mentor on 落叶归根 (Luò yè guī gēn) Getting Home (Cheryl Ho and Rachel Lee, 2020).

Recent acting credits include The Enlightenment of the Siddhartha Gautama Buddha and the Encounter with the Monkey King, Great Sage Equal of Heaven (Elbow Room 2022, 2021) and Mad As A Cute Snake (Theatre Works 2019).

Alice was previously based in New York, where she trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in the three-year conservatory program. Her most surprising career highlight was being a dinosaur at Melbourne Zoo.
