Saturday Live Music Session
Featuring Charles Jenkins and Nick Vulture
|
|
Charles Jenkins is a well known South Australian artist, now based in Melbourne. He is a songwriter/musician, producer, performer and teacher with more than 30 years experience in the Australian Music Industry.
With this solo acoustic venture, local surfer, Nick Vulture has moved into territory that couldn’t be any further removed from his roots in the garage punk scene of Adelaide, South Australia with his band, The Molting Vultures. This is gritty acoustic folk done raw and stripped back to its very core. Nick’s songs are deeply personal, but also universal, in that they reflect the general fragility of the human condition with all of its uncertainty, its cruelty and its beauty.
Saturday 21 January, 2-4pm
Tickets: $25, $20 concession
Licenced bar, no BYO alcohol.
Book online here.

Solastalgia (working title)
Riverside Studio
Echoing the ever-evolving deliberation of the self as formed by nature or nurture. Engaging sites of the surrounding natural environment to explore trauma, death, grief, longing and loss. Through the parallels of our inner and outer environment, the ever-changing landscape, vulnerability and desolation of both, and the inseparable relationship of our internal and external nature.

Entanglement
Sunroom Studio
Walking along the river and coast of the city of Onkaparinga, the artist observes and documents interactions between the human and more-than-human. While doing so, she reflects on the critical theory of queer ecology, which aims to de-construct the Western concept of natural/unnatural dualism. Through the act of mark making, these entanglements will be further queered to sit in a fluid state that challenges the binary concepts of what is natural and unnatural.

Your Say - Hopgood Theatre

Last days to have your say!
Hopgood Theatre - Future Opportunities
Consultation closes 5pm, 3 January 2023.
Hopgood Theatre opened in 1985 and is an integral part of the regional arts community, providing a space for local emerging artists to perform, as well as bringing national and international performances to the Fleurieu region.
The main theatre has one of the largest seating capacities of any theatre in suburban Adelaide, boasting a 492-seat capacity. Thousands of people attend performances at the Hopgood Theatre each year. It’s the only professional performing arts centre of this size within the City of Onkaparinga (approximate population of 175,000) and the broader Fleurieu Peninsula (approximate population of 50,000).
The community has a longstanding connection with Hopgood Theatre which provides vibrancy and activates Ramsay Place and the broader Noarlunga Centre during day and night.
The future of the Hopgood Theatre has been assured through community and council advocacy efforts which have resulted in the state government committing to a 25-year lease agreement with City of Onkaparinga and includes a state government grant of $6 million to refurbish Hopgood Theatre.
We are now seeking community feedback on the future opportunities for Hopgood Theatre and what programs and services are desired to ensure the longevity of this much-loved performing arts facility.
