VISION
Polyglot Puppet Theatre is a vital centre of artistic opportunity, creating original theatrical adventures for children, nationally and internationally.MISSION
Inspired by children and their play, artwork and ideas, Polyglot explores the boundless possibilities of puppetry and the different ways we engage with live performance.
VALUES
- Making ORIGINALITY our focus in the understanding that there is a crying need for new Australian stories for children's theatre and that puppetry is a vividly imaginative form for this very task.
- RESPECT for our audiences, for the intelligence and insight of children, for our artists.
- A company that esteems COLLABORATION; drawing peers into our process, working in partnership, having children at the core of all activity.
- A company that has SUSTAINABILITY in mind when creating work: that of the organisation, the life of product, our alliances within the community.
- EXCELLENCE is the guide in all our goals in process, production, performance and operations.
- Our community and audience is made up of many different elements and composed of many ethnic and socio-economic groups and the DIVERSITY of our activity compliments this.
- ACCESSIBILITY is vital - that children are able to see live theatre and experience the performing arts no matter their circumstances.
