طوال مسبرته، التزم بولاي بالانتماء لعالم المسرح وجعل تفسيراته متجسدة بوضوح للجمهور. ويؤمن فيليب أن الأداء الحقيقي يؤثر في كل الجسد، ويحول الأفكار لأفعال تلمس الجمهور. 

وأعمال بولاي متأثرة بإبداعات كولتاي بوضوح. ويحمل فيليب شغفـًا لمشاركة هذا الأسلوب مع الممثلين والمخرجين، وتمرير هذه الممارسات الملهمة والمتجذرة في فن المسرح.
