Katherine Fyffe

Kath finds immense joy in leading the team at Polyglot alongside Cat. Joining the company in early 2018, she enjoyed three years as Polyglot’s General Manager before taking on the role of Executive Director and co-CEO in late 2020.

Kath has worked in a variety of arts management roles, including as Executive Producer at Shaun Parker & Company, and at Melbourne Festival and Theatre Network Australia. For 13 years she co-led Adelaide’s experimental theatre collective The Border Project, as a manager, and as an artist creating and performing in many works.

Much of her work takes place in the office, but spending time with artists and seeing children interact with Polyglot’s work is her favourite part of the job.

Kath trained as an actor at Flinders University, and has worked on many creative projects. Most recently she was writer and co-creator of Beep for Windmill Performing Arts, which has now been turned into a children’s television series for the ABC called Beep & Mort.
