CAAP and Polyglot Theatre are partnering to present Artist Jam, introducing Asian Australian artists to the dynamic world of children’s theatre.

Delivered in collaboration with Polyglot Theatre, an internationally renowned pioneer in interactive theatrical experiences for young audiences, this day-long program immerses participants in the practices and processes of both companies. Through an engaging blend of playful workshops and hands-on exploration, you'll take to the floor for active participation, gaining invaluable insights into creating compelling theatre experiences for children, families, and communities

At the heart of this initiative is CAAP's mission to create pathways for Asian Australian artists, fostering connections and enhancing representation in the arts sector. Recognising the need to cultivate diverse voices in theatre for young audiences, this one-day event is thoughtfully designed to foster a space where play and curiosity are central to creativity, encouraging participants to immerse themselves in the world of young people’s theatre with joy and enthusiasm.

Be prepared to be physically joyful, meet new people, and be part of an interactive creative practice jam.

Artist Jam will run Mon 11 Nov.
