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.

Workshop

Feast

Feast is a meal like no other, inviting children to make gastronomical delights from a pile of most unusual ingredients.

A Feast production photo. A group of children stand in a line at a long table, busily making paper food creations.

A long table is set with a white cloth, paper plates, and a centre piece of paper flowers. The ingredients are mise en place. Children are invited to fill their imaginations on creating the dishes of their dreams – food fit for a top restaurant, or a very hungry punter. Gradually the table starts to fill – stringy string pasta, tomato cellophane sauce with a spray of green fabric basil, paper pizza, tissue sushi. Waiters impeccably dressed in black and white hover to encourage and assist, writing up the mouth-watering menu.

This installation lets children play with materials other than food to make truly delicious, and sometimes really horrible, culinary creations.
