Polyglot Puppet Theatre is one of Australia's leading children's performance companies; unique in the diversity of its program, its exploration of puppetry arts, its engagement with communities, its artist support programs and its creative processes which place children's imaginations at the centre of a collaborative arts practice.
Polyglot's program is energetic, explorative and diverse, offering a wide range of accessible events. The company reaches over 30 000 children annually through presenting work for schools, theatres and interactive play-spaces and contemporary performance work in non-traditional spaces for festivals. Puppetry - magical, playful, transformational - is also used to make quality performances in collaboration with marginalised communities. Polyglot is an arts industry resource, a creator of links between artists, and a contributor to art form development in puppetry and children's theatre. Polyglot places kids at the centre of the company's artistic process so they become a genuine part of the playmaking; valued for their opinions, insights, art and design, as discerning audiences of today. In 2008, Polyglot Puppet Theatre celebrates its 30th birthday with a program that embraces large-scale public interactive works, roving street puppetry, festival and theatre performances, national and international touring, site specific work, schools shows, workshops for kids and professional development opportunities for artists. Polyglot has won many awards for its shows and community processes, and remains committed to working for access to the arts for all children and continuing as one of the Australia's premiere puppetry companies. |
