Storm Boy - The Original 1976 Film
Mike Kingsley (Greg Rowe), a sheltered young boy, lives in a remote coastal region of
Australia with his reclusive fisherman father, Tom (Peter Cummins). When a group of
hunters kill a majestic pelican and orphans its young on the beach, Mike convinces his
father to let him raise the chicks to adulthood. Soon after, Mike befriends Fingerbone Bill
(David Gulpilil), a wise and mysterious Indigenous man who dubs the young bird-lover
'Storm Boy' and offers him a few life lessons. Followed by a movie trailer of the new 2019
Storm Boy film.

Solo exhibition
Lise Temple has been painting South Australian landscapes for 15 years. Her paintings
explore the experience of place from changing viewpoints, moving between realism and
abstraction. This exhibition presents lyrical abstract landscapes and abstracted interiors,
which she has developed from collage compositions. Additionally, smaller outdoor
paintings will be shown. Bold colour, generous application of impasto paint and lively
brushwork feature throughout. The true subject of the work is always the colour, form and

in possession of a white Volkswagen Beetle that seems to have a mind and spirit of its own.

South Australian Education Show
JUST ADD WATER I MARCH I APRIL I MAY
A blistering new one-man version of George Orwell’s political classic.
Revolution is coming to Manor Farm. Under the guidance of some rebellious
pigs, a group of farm animals unite to drive out their cruel human oppressors and build utopia.
But the swine are not as united as they appear and their division gives rise to a terrifying new
system of power and repression.
Written in the 1940s as a response to the rise of authoritarian governments around the world,
Animal Farm is a searing and timeless examination of extremist rule. In his final production as
Artistic Director, Geordie Brookman and the mercurial Renato Musolino join forces to create a
scintillating take on one of the greatest stories of English literature. A sublime and unadorned
piece of theatrical storytelling Animal Farm will see Musolino inhabit upwards of 20
characters, from the revolutionary pigs to the stoic draft horse and the tyrannical Mr Jones.

What Privelege, The Colony Exhibition
What Privilege – The Colony Exhibition
In a series of provocative multi-media installations, audiences are drawn into a surreal
bureaucracy that has colonized our world. Armed with Kafkaesque tasks that reflect
experiences of oppression, from racism, #MeToo to daily access barriers, audiences can test
their supremacy beliefs, and simultaneously subvert colonizing mindsets.
Created by Change Media’s Jen Lyons-Reid and Carl Kuddell, in collaboration with Ngarrindjeri
and artists from diverse backgrounds. The Colony explores concepts of power, privilege and
solidarity, inviting audiences to notice, disrupt and reframe privileged assumptions: Welcome
to The Colony. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the
Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body, and by the South Australian
Government through Arts SA.
