After  a  performance  by  Poetry  In  Action,  our  students realise  that  what  their  teachers  have  been  saying  is  true:  language  can  be  vibrant,  dynamic  and  life  changing.  As  an  adjunct  to  teaching  students  these truths,  PIA’s  performances  are  only  just  short  of  epiphany.

Thank you so much for performing at St Patrick’s Marist College! It was seriously an honour, I’m good at writing so I’m working on a piece to submit this year and thanks for changing the way I see poetry.

We’re very grateful! Both staff and students enjoyed the shows enormously. 

They were cleverly put together and very engaging.

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.
