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.

Polyglot Theatre is forging our next creative evolution. Harnessing the momentum of a tremendously productive 2022, a full-swing return to performing and touring, and with Cat Sewell as our new Artistic Director, big plans are in motion. Join us for the journey (link in bio). #PolyglotTheatre Photo @sarahtakesphotos Image description: A Paper Planet production photo. A child looks up, smiling, at an orange tissue paper creation hanging from a tree. Other children and families are visible in the background, creating and playing with brown paper, green and blue tissue paper and tape.

While our Bees were delighting children and famili

While our Bees were delighting children and families in Cairns and Toronto over the weekend, Polyglot also had a creative team at @rumbalarafnc in Shepparton, VIC, creating and playing with the Club’s young people. 2023 marks the eighth year of friendship, collaboration and exchange between Polyglot and Rumbalara, and we are so grateful for the generosity, support and guidance of the Club leaders and community.

"It's a special place, Rumbalara. The friendships that have grown over many years are wonderful to witness. It was so great to be at a workshop with Polyglot artists and children and community. To be there, gently. To be with. To let the materials and our imaginations take us in directions together. Wherever that may be." Cat Sewell, Artistic Director, Polyglot Theatre
