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.

Justine Warner

A child with brown eyes and shoulder length brown hair looks forward.

A puppeteer at heart, Justine loves expression through movement. She savours subtlety, sensitivity and silliness, and is intrigued by the effects of connection through creativity on the nervous system, and how it seeds a sense of belonging.

Justine’s work at Polyglot brings her joy, as she witnesses thousands of moments of delight and curiosity when children unleash their courage to explore, discover, expand and embody their capacities through play. Seeing the reigniting of the inner child in accompanying adults, bringing a remembering of the deliciousness and richness of play, and knowing they will become stronger advocates for creativity and play in the lives of the children around them.

Working creatively with children offers a constant, refreshing invitation to see things differently, and be present to infinite possibilities, particularly in the simplest of things.

Justine’s credits include performing as Bingo in Bluey’s Big Play (Australia, USA), and as Spuddy in Spuddy and Scoot.
