Established in 2011, Power of Play (PoP) utilizes the performing arts for communication and breaking down barriers, with a special focus on theatre and puppetry.

With over a decade of experience, Power of Play’s dynamic work has been called upon by public and private sector organisations to convey complex messaging in novel modes. Their performances and interactive work have impacted audiences urban and rural, local and international, with PoP founder Sulochana Dissanayke founding Power of Play Australia in 2024.

At the heart of PoP is a need to inspire people to overcome inhibitions, be empowered as dynamic changemakers in their own communities, to share in the joy of shared stories, and to remember the healing power of play.
