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.

Clement Baade

Clement started his acting career at St Martins Youth Arts Centre in 1990 as the Director’s right-hand person. He joined FOG Theatre (formerly known as JustUs) in the same year, and then Rawcus Theatre Company in 2000. In 2009, Clement starred in A Good Death directed by The Sister Hayes, and in 2010, he performed in A Brief History About my Body at the Victorian College of the Arts. In 2015, he became a FOG Theatre Facilitator. 

In August 2022, Clement joined Polyglot Theatre. He loves the atmosphere and the joy of it all – Polyglot brings light and wonder to his days. As a performer in When the World Turns, he learned and gained lots of knowledge and skills because Polyglot showed him ‘how to be myself and have fun’, and he absolutely loves working with children and other families.

Outside of Clement’s theatre world, he also has a part-time job working for Diversity and Inclusion. He likes reading and writing poetry and going on very long walks.
