WELCOMEcentrED provides exciting and comprehensive experiences for teachers and students to engage with and access performance and visual arts, combined with cross-curriculum learning in South Australia’s premier performing arts centre.

centrED’s annual program is designed in consultation with teachers’ learning programs, focusing on the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of quality teaching and learning program delivery. These unique resources are linked to the Australian Curriculum (AC), Teaching for Effective Learning (TfEL) and the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). The centrED program will inspire creativity, enquiry and deepen cultural understanding, which in turn will foster a lifelong passion for learning and the arts all emanating from Adelaide Festival Centre. The five general AC capabilities are embedded into each centrED program, to support teacher’s curriculum delivery of each learning area.

The centrED e-Newsletter is emailed quarterly to update and inform teachers of new learning opportunities presented throughout the year.

from Patrick White’s short storyDown At The Dump, featuring Zephyr Quartet

CURRICULUM LINKSAustralian Curriculum: The Arts, English

SACE: Community Studies, Creative Arts, Dance, Drama, English, Music, Integrated Studies & Research Project

From the pen of Patrick White comes a timeless story about seizing the day. As the Hogbens bury the scandalous Daise Morrow, over the cemetery fence two young dreamers take their first tentative steps into love. An evocation of the wonders of small beginnings, the complications of compassion and the grace and majesty of love; this is a story of small community in all its complexity. It’s about a fear of outsiders, the unknown and the uninhibited. In a non-traditional setting, this immersive performance will see the actors playing in and around the audience on the Space Theatre floor, accompanied by the Zephyr Quartet playing live.
