The past year has been an exciting and challenging time for the department as it has continued to embrace the portfolio style of management and Budget and Procurement Reform processes, while continuing with operational business. This would not have been possible without the level of cooperation and collaboration that has occurred within the Department. I wish to acknowledge the many years of valuable service of Mr Rod Payze, the first Chief Executive of the Department, who retired early in the year. This is the first annual report that I have submitted to you and wish to thank you for your support during that time. This report complies with the requirements of the Public Sector Management Act 1995 and the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987, Harbors and Navigation Act 1993, Rail Safety Act 1996 and the Highways Act 1926.

  • South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 LGA Submission
    South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 LGA Submission April 2019 LGA of SA ECM XXXXX < File Name > Page 0 of 12 Introduction As the closest government to communities, councils deliver hundreds of facilities and services that: drive economic development; protect the environment; bring communities together; support public health; and improve the local amenity enjoyed by all South Australians and visitors alike. Arts and culture is an important part of the work which many councils do, and the role of local government in arts and culture has many benefits for the South Australian community, supporting health and wellbeing, economic, social and cultural development. In this context, the Local Government Association of South Australia (LGA) welcomes the decision of the State Government to develop an Arts Plan, and the opportunity to make a submission. Local government is an experienced partner in government, and the LGA and our member councils look forward to working with the State Government and Arts South Australia to capture that involvement in the South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 (‘the Plan’). About the LGA The LGA is the voice of local government in South Australia, representing all 68 individual councils across the state. Our mission is to provide leadership, support, representation and advocacy on behalf of South Australian councils, for the benefit of the community. The value of LGA membership has been independently verified by UHY Haines Norton as being worth around $139 million to the local government sector in 2019. This submission has been informed by consultation with our member councils. Development of an Arts Plan for South Australia The LGA is keen to be involved in the development of the Plan and this submission is provided for consideration of the consultants engaged to prepare the Plan.

  • Acting with Care: How Actor Practice Is Shaped by Creating Theatre with and for Children – Jennifer Andersen Declaration
    Acting with care: How actor practice is shaped by creating theatre with and for children Jennifer Andersen ORCID ID: D-4258-2015 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2017 Melbourne Graduate School of Education The University of Melbourne Abstract Research has investigated the backgrounds, dispositions and skills of artists working with children in both school and in out-of-school contexts (Ascenso, 2016; Brown, 2014; Galton, 2008; Jeanneret & Brown, 2013; Pringle, 2002; Pringle, 2009; Rabkin, Reynolds, Hedberg, & Shelby, 2008; Waldorf, 2002). Actors make a significant contribution to this work but few studies focus in depth on how they create theatre with and for children. Incorporating constructivist, phenomenological (Van Manen, 1990) and case study methodologies, this research investigates the practice of nine actors who create theatre with and for children in diverse contexts. Drawing on document analysis, surveys, semi- structured interviews and performance observations, the research explores two key questions: What characterises the practice of actors who create theatre with and for children? and How is actor practice shaped by working with children? This thesis explores actor practice in relation to being, doing, knowing and becoming (Ewing & Smith, 2001). Shaped to be outward facing and ‘pedagogically tactful’ (Van Manen, 2015), actor practice gives emphasis to four key qualities: listening, reciprocating, imagining and empathising. When creating theatre with and for children, pedagogically tactful actors are guided by a sense of care and respect. This thesis adds to the discourse about artists working with children, making actor practice visible and drawing attention to their beliefs, goals, motivations and acting techniques.

  • Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival
    Australian Services Union SA + NT Branch The ASU campaigns for fairness and equality in our workplaces, communities + globally Join the union for social justice activists 08 8363 1322 Foreword Together with our sponsors, the Don Dunstan Foundation is proud to present the 2019 Social Change Guide to the Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival. This Guide is our biggest yet with 181 shows featuring a diverse display of culture of which Don Dunstan would have been proud. Don was not only Premier of South Australia during the 1970s, but was also a trained actor. A strong supporter of the Arts throughout his lifetime, he was a patron of the Fringe and narrated Carnival of the Animals in the 1974 Festival of Arts. The Dunstan Decade saw South Australia lead the nation in progressive social reforms, and laid the foundation for Adelaide’s transformation into ‘the Festival State’. The Adelaide Festival was at the forefront of this transformation; since its launch in 1960 they have been showcasing diverse shows from all around the world. In 1974 the Fringe released its first Souvenir Programme, beginning its evolution into what is now the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, both go from strength to strength. The Arts bring us together, and help to create and celebrate our diversity. When we offer access to art in all its forms, we improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Through the Arts we have a chance to see the world from a new perspective, and at its best, art can inspire us to take action for a fairer world.
