7 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 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.

EMERGENCE, CACTI AND FANATIC THREE PLAYFUL WORKS FROM THE FRONTLINES OF DANCE Directed by Rafael Bonachela, Artistic Director of Sydney Dance Company, Emergence features the alluring costume creations of Australian fashion designer Dion Lee and an inspiring collaboration between internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko and composer Nick Wales. Irreverent, humorous and brilliant, Cacti is the critically acclaimed brainchild of Swedish dance prodigy Alexander Ekman. Cacti is not only a subversive, entertaining commentary on the pretentions of contemporary dance, it is also a brilliantly conceived and bracingly physical piece of choreography. From South Australian rising star Larissa McGowan comes Fanatic, a hilarious pop-culture collision that pits Alien vs Predator in an interstellar dance throwdown between two sci-fi film franchises. This is dance for the digital age kinetic, immediate and exceedingly funny. SEASON 2015 PRINCIPAL CORPORATE PARTNER Photo: Wendell Teodoro

33 VISUAL ARTS NEW JOURNEYS BY DAMIEN SHEN 30 OCTOBER - 6 DECEMBER 2015 Damien Shen is a proud South Australian Aboriginal and Chinese man of Ngarrindjeri descent and draws both of these powerful formative influences into his practice as an artist. Damien s drawing technique uses a pastel base that is then worked up and worked back with erasers and black and white charcoals, to create a dynamic, shifting tension between black and white, shadow and light. It is out of this interplay that the form of the picture starts to emerge and lines coalesce to form not just an image but a narrative - a reflection of an identity that, like the drawing, is only arrived at through a long process of creation, erasure, and struggle. HEALING HEARTS AND MINDS 11 DECEMBER JANUARY 2016 SUSANNE WEGENER & JANET RALEIGH The exhibition features 16 black and white prints on vinyl displayed on pvc frames. The prints have a strong message for women about self esteem and self empowerment. The images depict women s emotions through facial expressions and the accompany text provokes thought about how women use their power to have their needs met. Features 2d, 3d, projection and audio components.
