Adelaide Festival Centre Trust Act 1971 the Festival Centre was established as a statutory authority and charged with the responsibility for encouraging and facilitating artistic, cultural and performing arts activities throughout South Australia, as well as maintaining and improving the building and facilities of the Festival Centre complex. As the creative heart of South Australia the Festival Centre delivers artistic, educational, social and economic outcomes for locals and visitors from around Australia and the world. Our aspiration is for a city and State that is a hub of arts excellence and to be acknowledged as such – locally, nationally and internationally. The Festival Centre is an iconic arts and tourism entity for South Australia and strives to realise the aspirations of the community to be an active and essential creative performing arts centre presenting the best in arts and entertainment from around the world. The arts are a vital part of our community and must be celebrated and valued. At the Adelaide Festival Centre we believe that the arts cannot only provide immediate enjoyment, they offer a lifetime of cultural, intellectual and personal fulfilment. All people have the need and right to participate in arts and culture to provide opportunities for creative expressions and a deeper understanding of the world we live in. We are proud of our leadership role within the Australian and international arts sector and of our contribution to a vibrant and healthy community. We appreciate our audiences and value their feedback. We value and support our staff and as a team, in collaboration with other artists and arts organisations, we constantly strive to improve our work. We are working very hard to be more relevant to more people and to increase our visitor numbers dramatically through significantly increased programming. We are reaching out to more people to find us more relevant and to visit us more often. Free and low-cost programming, including Something on Saturday for children aged three to ten and their families, Morning Melodies, an affordable day-time program, and a comprehensive visual arts program, continues to be a cornerstone of what we do as do our learning opportunities – both curriculum-based learning for students and informal learning activities. The Festival Centre is committed to establishing closer links with young people recognising that they are our future audiences. With seed funding from the Adelaide Festival Centre Foundation, we have established the GreenRoom a young friend’s membership offering activities and events for young people to engage with us more regularly, and Student Tix, a program offering discount tickets to full-time students. Through a combination of a renewed artistic and programming vision and partnerships with government, tourism, the arts sector and business we believe we can make a larger contribution to making Adelaide and South Australia a great place in which to live and visit. 4 Highlights of 2006-07 x Adelaide Festival Centre initiated a year long festival of theatre (CentreStage), dance (Pivot(al)) and music (trans:mission).

  • 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.

The inquiry is viewed by many policy makers and scholars as an important source of knowledge regarding the post-colonial lives of Indigenous people. It began as an investigation into Indigenous deaths in custody, but its scope was later broadened to encompass a wide range of matters affecting Indigenous Australians. There have been numerous criticisms made about the way the investigation was conducted and about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the recommendations made. Of particular relevance to this thesis are those criticisms that have highlighted the failure of the RCIADIC to consider the problems confronting Indigenous women. It has been claimed that although problems such as family violence and the sexual abuse of Indigenous women by police were acknowledged by both the RCIADIC and other scholars as having a significant impact upon the lives of Indigenous women, the RCIADIC failed to address these and other gender-specific problems.

  • Hop, Skip and Jump: Indigenous Australian Women Performing Within and Against Aboriginalism
    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ONLINE MusicA JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA Hop, Skip and Jump: Indigenous Australian Women Performing Within and Against Aboriginalism Introduction KATELYN BARNEY was in The University of Queensland library talking to one of the librarians, James, about my PhD research. He asked, ‘So, what are you researching again?’ and I replied, ‘Well, I’m working with Indigenous Australian1 women ■ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Iwho perform contemporary music, you know, popular music singers’. James Islander Studies Unit looked confused, ‘Oh, so are you going to interview that guy from the band The University of Queensland 2 Yothu Yindi ?’ This was not the first time I had been asked this and inwardly I Brisbane sighed and replied, ‘No, I’m just focusing my research on Indigenous Australian QLD 4072 women’. Streit-Warburton’s words immediately reverberated in my mind: ‘Ask Australia an Australian to name an Aboriginal singer and there is a fair chance that the answer will be Yothu Yindi’s Mandawuy Yunupingu. Ask again for the name of an Aboriginal woman singer and there is an overwhelming chance that the answer will be Deafening Silence. Deafening Silence is not the name of a singer; it is the pervasive response to most questions about Aboriginal women.’ (1993: 86). As Email: [email protected] I looked at James, I wondered if anything had really changed in more than 10 years. The account above highlights how Indigenous Australian women performers continue to be silenced in discussions and discourses about Indigenous Australian 3 www.jmro.org.au performance.

  • Reclaiming the Kaurna Language: a Long and Lasting Collaboration in an Urban Setting
    Vol. 8 (2014), pp. 409-429 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4613 Series: The Role of Linguists in Indigenous Community Language Programs in Australia1 Reclaiming the Kaurna language: a long and lasting collaboration in an urban setting Rob Amery University of Adelaide A long-running collaboration between Kaurna people and linguists in South Australia be- gan in 1989 with a songbook. Following annual community workshops and the estab- lishment of teaching programs, the author embarked on a PhD to research historical sources and an emerging modern language based on these sources. In response to numer- ous requests for names, translations and information, together with Kaurna Elders Lewis O’Brien and Alitya Rigney, the author and others formed Kaurna Warra Pintyandi (KWP) in 2002. It is a monthly forum where researchers, and others interested in Kaurna lan- guage, can meet with Kaurna people to discuss their concerns. KWP, based at the Univer- sity of Adelaide, is not incorporated and attendance of meetings is voluntary. The com- mittee has gained a measure of credibility and respect from the Kaurna community, gov- ernment departments and the public and has recently signed a Memorandum of Under- standing with the University of Adelaide. However, KWP and the author sit, uneasily at times, at the intersection between the University and the community. This paper explores the nature of collaboration between Kaurna people and researchers through KWP in the context of reliance on historical documentation, much of which is open to interpretation. Linguistics provides some of the skills needed for interpretation of source materials.
