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.


Support us in 2022

By holding fast to our values and vision, Polyglot has weathered the challenges of the past two years, continuing to build great depth in our company and work, and strong connections with our community.

While we have navigated hurdles, we have also maintained our momentum: we continued our commitment to employing our staff and artists; seasons and creative developments took place however we could make them happen; and we discovered new methods for remote collaboration and making and delivering creative experiences for children.

  • Live creative experiences are particularly important because they are not static, they can be approached on the child’s own terms and they respond to the viewer. And I love them, genuinely surprising and joy making!

Polyglot has bold plans for 2022 and beyond:

  • Multiple premiere seasons, interstate and international tours and collaborations, and innovative projects with new communities are all confirmed.

  • We continue to advocate for the right of all children to experience arts and culture by embedding universal access throughout our organisation and our work.

  • We remain committed to employing our people – the literal engine room of our company – and placing artists at the heart of our recovery so that we can continue developing exciting, trailblazing art, and sharing it with children and families everywhere.
