Pollyanna Nowicki She/They is Queer and Neurocomplex with hidden disabilities. Sydney based actor and model. You can hear her talk all things Neuroqueer on the Accessible Arts Podcast.
In 2009, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she received the NSDF Sunday Times Emerging Artist award for Acting and since then she has been delivering epic performances on international stages and screens. Appearing in Flickerfest and Sydney Film Festival.
Reviewed by Suzy Go See for The Tragedy of Antigone: “Accomplished is Pollyanna as Tiresias, the blind clairvoyant, equal parts ethereality and gravitas, her portrayal is macabre, mysterious and flamboyant, contributing significantly to the shows exciting but dark sense of extravagance”.
Most recently, she collaborated with Bell Shakespeare Co. on a new neurodivergent lead script called Method in Madness and has been selected for ACON’s Disability Leadership 2026 program. Pollyanna hopes to continuously neuroqueer and advocate for accessibility as well as equitable employment in the arts.
