RISING, a festival three years in the making, has opened today. Victoria s newest major event commences its first uninterrupted, full program of music, art, performance and ceremony that will reawaken and reconnect the city to the world, inviting audiences to get lost, go deep and shake loose.
About this Event
Enabled Youth Disability Network (EYDN) are running a
FREE event as part of SA Youth Week for young people living with disability. Disability and Safe relationships will be held on 11 May from 5-7pm at Restless Dance Theatre (195 Gilles Street, Adelaide South Australia 5000)
EYDN are partnering up with Ralph Brew to present a workshop on disability and safe relationships. Relationships, dating (in-person and online), gender identity, and sexuality can be tough and confusing for young people to navigate safely.
So, join us to learn about your rights when it comes to sexual health, your rights when it comes to privacy and autonomy, what healthy relationships and healthy behaviours look like, respect for boundaries and consent, and how to advocate for yourself.
Restless Dance Theatre Launches New Fundraiser To Keep Dancing

Restless Dance Theatre, Australia s renowned company for people with and without disability has launched a new fundraising campaign to keep it dancing. With the Company s core operational funding cut, Restless faces an enormous task of raising funds to cover their running costs.
If the company can raise $50,000 by May 30 2021, the Federal Government through the Creative Partnerships Australia Plus 1 program, will match it to enable Restless to secure its operational funding until 2024. At present Restless operational funding ceases at the end of 2021.
Review: Guttered, directed by Michelle Ryan. Restless Dance Theatre for Adelaide Festival.
We are greeted at the entrance of Kingpin Norwood. Seasoned bowlers make a beeline for shoe hire while teens flock to the clanging siren call of arcade games. The line between real and theatrical is joyfully blurred as the interactive and immersive performance of Guttered begins.
Upon entering, we are required to show our palms for inspection as a small light dances across our hands. We are assessed: “You look like you’re good at supporting people. You can be on the cheer squad.”
Picked for our respective teams, we are directed towards couches at the end of each lane or a row of chairs towards the back of the room. These opening moments conjure a sense of conversation between audience and dancers.
