COUNTRY ARTS SA
THE ART OF INSPIRING COMMUNITIES
WELCOME
You’ll notice a lot has changed in the new 2015 Country Arts SA guide. Welcome to our first on-line update. As the world continues to change thanks to advances in communication technology Country Arts SA is looking for new and better ways to keep you informed of all of the activities we have in the Riverland and Murraylands region. Here you will find what’s on throughout your region in from visual arts, theatre performances, available funding and grants for artists, workshops, cinema screenings, to new locally produced shows. We are highlighting the arts and entertainment options that will be coming to the Chaffey Theatre with a special new announcement about the Adelaide Film Festival on page 21. This program would not be possible without the continued support of our long term Principal Corporate Partner, SA Power Networks. For 18 years SA Power Networks has ensured we can bring the best Australian and international performing arts to our audiences across South Australia. So please continue to use Country Arts SA’s guide as your go-to resource for what’s going on in your community. STEVE SAFFELL CEO, Country Arts SA
JACK SNELLING MP Minister for the Arts — We want all South Australians to have access to arts wherever they live. As a strong part of culture and social fabric, the arts have a way of bringing us together and expanding our horizons. Country Arts SA is committed to delivering South Australians in regional and remote areas the same high quality arts experiences available in metropolitan areas. We recognise the value in our major cultural institutions and the need for that to extend beyond the borders of Adelaide. Country Arts SA’s art centres attract some of the biggest names in the arts and entertainment industry. They and their staff are a dynamic part of the community. The dedicated network of Arts and Cultural Development Officers ensure that artists throughout the state are nurtured to greater levels of success. The entire team at Country Arts SA works tirelessly for and with regional communities to ensure that every community in South Australia is able to use the arts to enrich what they offer their citizens. Country Arts SA’s guide is a great new way to discover arts activities through the Riverland and Murraylands and thoroughly enjoy 2015.
ROB STOBBE CEO, SA Power Networks — SA Power Networks is proud to help bring the arts to all South Australians, wherever they live. This year we celebrate a partnership of 18 years with Country Arts SA – a partnership that has helped hundreds of thousands of people across South Australia see great performances and many memorable shows. Our partnership with Country Arts SA reflects our key role as the state’s electricity distributor - delivering safe and reliable power so you can get on with life. As a business with a significant presence across the state, we love the fact that we are helping power up the arts in regional South Australia. Enjoy the great season in 2015!

OUR COMMITMENT TO RECONCILIATION Country Arts SA believes that the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can be enriched through the arts.

RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN
GET INVOLVED! Reconciliation is a priority for our organisation and inclusive of all the work we do. We recognise and respect that we are living and creating on Aboriginal Lands in South Australia and we are committed to working together to honour the living cultures of First Nations peoples. We aim to increase respect, understanding and equality of opportunity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and the wider communities in which we work through partnership, dialogue and action. We believe the arts have an important role to play in reconciliation. By promoting the culture of First Nations peoples through our touring productions, exhibitions and cultural development activities, we strive to increase understanding and knowledge within the wider community. Through a program of education and cultural sharing activity for staff we will increase awareness and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in our organisation and enable our staff to share that knowledge with the wider community. To download the complete Country Arts SA Reconciliation Action Plan go to www.countryarts.org.au
NAIDOC WEEK 5 – 11 JULY 2015 NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each year to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. www.naidoc.org.au

WHEN A LARGE SPORTS BAG FULL OF CASH IS BROUGHT INTO PETER’S VERY ORDINARY HOME, HIS FAMILY IS CAUGHT UP IN A SINISTER AND DISTURBING CHAIN OF EVENTS. Created by award winning company Side Pony Productions, director Zoe Pepper brings you a new interactive audio experience, placing the audience at the centre of the action. You’re invited to step onto the floor into this gripping thriller to experience first-hand the sordid betrayal and moral philandering that’s about to smother this suburban dream. Equipped with masks and headsets, six audience members navigate the space, experiencing the show in the first person. Those who prefer to watch can survey the action from the perimeter, and choose who they want to follow using a personal console to toggle between the audio of different characters.
The Confidence Man is a morally complex tale complete with goodies, baddies, and a dose of good old-fashioned psychotic menace.

TRUE STORIES FROM THE MEN WHO FLEW IN WORLD WAR TWO Based on his two best-selling books, Flak and Fly, Michael Veitch presents Flak, in which he takes on the roles of former airmen, recounting their extraordinary, true and largely untold stories of combat in the air war of 1939-45. Veitch’s passion has always been the air war, and over the course of three years and two books he interviewed more than 50 pilots, bomb aimers and air gunners, almost all of whom had never revealed their wartime adventures to anyone, including, in some cases, their own families. The stories they told are truly amazing. Veitch has an academic background in history, but made his name with ABC’s cult hit The D Generation, followed by Fast Forward, Full Frontal and more. He is a regular guest presenter and interviewer on ABC morning radio.

Spend the night with the definitive seductress of the stage as she weaves her deliciously wicked wiles through one of Expressions Dance Company’s most loved productions. Performed to Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin’s gripping Carmen Suite by six EDC dancers, this iconic tale of Spanish heat and gypsy passion unravels when naïve soldier Don José has his heart ignited by the fiery Carmen. José’s attempts to tame the freedom-loving beauty are futile, and when she leaves him for the famous matador Escamillo, all three are engulfed in the flames of jealousy and revenge in this contemporary adaptation of ballet. Produced by Expressions Dance Company and Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Natalie Weir’s Carmen Sweet is a free spirit; dangerous, volatile and vulnerable, brought to vivid life by three dancers playing her different states of mind and alter egos.

(G) 92 mins Babe is a little pig who doesn’t quite know his place in the world. With a bunch of odd friends, like Ferdinand the duck who thinks he is a rooster and Fly the dog he calls “Mum”, Babe realises that he has the makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time... and Farmer Hogget knows it.
Tracks FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
(M) 113 mins In 1977, Robyn Davidson (Mia Wasikowska) embarked on a 3200km trek from Alice Springs to the West Australian Coast with four camels and her faithful dog Diggity. An adventurous outsider, Robyn reluctantly accepts sponsorship from National Geographic magazine to follow her trek. She has to put up with the sporadic presence of photographer Rick (Adam Driver, Girls) but mostly she is alone with her animals in the outback. Based on Robyn’s memoirs chronicling her nine-month journey, director John Curran filmed Tracks predominantly in the Flinders Ranges, SA.

THIS IS A RIVER TEN ARTIST RESIDENCIES ALONG THE MURRAY RIVER
2015 RESIDENCY ARTISTS
In 2015 Country Arts SA will place 10 artists in seven small communities and townships that hug South Australia’s 500 kilometre stretch of the Murray River.
Mike Tye: Raukkan
For their residencies, artists will explore the idea of “same place, different view” through the theme of Resilience as Process. The theme has a direct reference to the effects of the recent drought on River Murray towns and populations. Resilience is not a trait you either have or not; it is the process and outcome of adapting to challenging experiences. Country Arts SA is interested in understanding the communities’ processes of learning from the past, how they might share these through the creative and artistic lens of an artist in residence and preparing themselves for the next challenge. We are at an opportune time to discuss this as the waters have returned… to an extent… but what does it take for us not to forget?

RYT Weekly Workshop Program is offered across the region, and encompasses Theatre Styles, Acting Skills, Glee Club and Making a Movie.
The RYT Collective has been born out of the identified lack of creative engagement opportunities that currently exist in the Riverland for young people aged between 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 26 years.
These unique workshops have been identified by the young people of the area and are being developed to provide a wide base of opportunity for all young creatives across the region.
Young people interested in all art forms will be invited to meet fortnightly to share talents, project ideas and build a program of creative projects they would like to explore and deliver.
