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.

Cardboard, paper and sticky tape!

My first experience of Polyglot was the Cat City project at Melbourne Zoo in 2018 having been introduced to the company by a friend. I loved seeing the interaction between the artists, children and their families and how lives became transformed using cardboard, paper, sticky tape and lots and lots of imagination! The children had a ball exploring in safe space as they created a world designed for cats. The children [and many adults] were totally absorbed in the world of Cat City and when a dog [Sue] appeared the rivalry was real! It was wonderful to watch a young boy create an elaborate safe space to keep this intruder out!
