Julie’s connection with Polyglot spans nearly 20 years. She began as a volunteer, then completed her internship in 2004 while studying Stage Management at the Victorian College of the Arts. She was a freelance stage/production manager for the company before joining the staff in 2011.
Julie’s greatest Polyglot joy is the people: how we involve and delight children and families from development to performance, and collaborating with artists and staff. Her passion is producing new work – pulling all the moving pieces together to create remarkable theatre. A highlight was Cerita Anak (Child’s Story), Polyglot’s collaboration with Papermoon Puppet Theatre, and touring the Helpmann-nominated show back to Yogyakarta.
In 2021, Julie worked as Creative Producer at ArtPlay, furthering her knowledge and expertise in delivering and presenting arts experiences for children and families. Prior to joining the Polyglot staff, she also worked at Melbourne Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Commonwealth Games, and on many independent productions.
