BRINGING POETRY TO LIFe THROUGH PERFORMANCE
“
“
Poetry should be spoken, torn apart and put back together, twisted, turned, adored, loved and hated with equal passion… and in the end simply enjoyed by both the actor and the audience.

WHO WE ARE
Poetry in Action is an innovative touring theatre company with an enduring dedication to unlocking the power of words in a way never seen before in Australia.
From isolated students in remote Central Australia through to the upper echelons of corporations, PIA is dedicated to unlocking the power of words for everyone.
Our dynamic mode of theatre has seen our emergence as one of Australia’s most extensively travelled theatre companies, with our expanding geographical footprint now bringing poetry to life for thousands of young audience members across metropolitan and regional Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong.
As we enter our thirteenth year in 2019, our teams are excited to continue discovering more horizons than ever before! Will you join us?

SUPPORT US
Driven by a desire to bring poetry to life through performance and unlock the power of words for everyone, PIA has grown from an idea into an industry.
Our shows are needed in some of the remotest and under privileged communities in Australia where our performances shed an educational light onto a complicated subject and, in some cases, we are the only piece of theatre that a community may see in any given year.

THE LILLA PROJECT
In addition to its nationwide and international touring, PIA has also been stirring an extraordinary hunger in Indigenous students for literary experiences through a life-changing intensive literacy program in remote Central Australia. Read on to find out more.
