Description

Polyglot's "Play Space" in China is a multi-year arts project to work in partnership with four Chinese partners, introducing Polyglot's internationally renowned and unique Play Space activities to Chinese children and their parents for the first time. Polyglot is recognised as Australia's leading creator of interactive theatre experiences for children, and the Play Space performance projects have been performed across the world in Singapore, Japan, Korea, Europe and the USA.

Polyglot's activities create opportunities for high quality interaction between children and their parents, through innovative artistic experiences that are educational, fun and engaging. Using simple materials such as paper, sticky tape and elastic, Polyglot aims to empower children through an active engagement of their imagination and artistic curiosity, creating opportunities for children to take the lead in creating transformational creative worlds.
