Join us for a work-in-progress showing of Lines by choreographer Kaine Sultan-Babij, developed through The Mill’s First Nations Choreographic Lab in 2025.

This new work will explore movement based on cultural understandings and use of Aboriginal artefacts.

Over one week, Kaine will co-facilitate the lab with Caleena Sansbury, The Mill’s First Nations Dance Program Coordinator, working with dancers Kirsty Williams, Melanie Koolmatrie and Tiarna Power.

The Mill’s First Nations Choreographic Lab is a program designed to create performance outcomes while supporting emerging and mid-career First Nations dancers in South Australia.

Dear friends, dancers, and changemakers, You’re warmly invited to an unforgettable night of music, laughter, and dancing at the Rising Tide Fundraising Ceilidh! Whether you’re a seasoned ceilidh spinner or have two left feet, this is a night for everyone to come together in the name of climate justice.

Why are we dancing? We’re raising funds to subsidise transport for as many people as possible to get to The People’s Blockade at the World’s Biggest Coal Port this November. It’s going to be one of the most powerful climate actions of the year – and we want to make sure it’s accessible to all.

Who’s welcome? EVERYONE! Climate change affects all of us – across generations, cultures, and communities – so we want this event to reflect that diversity. We provide a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ folks, gender non-conforming people, First Nations peoples, children, families, elders, and anyone who cares about a fairer, safer future.

What to wear? Dress for dancing! We suggest comfy clothes, plenty of layers (you will get warm but parts of this venue are chilly!) and sensible shoes for bouncing around.

What to bring? A water bottle Your dancing spirit Cash or card if you’d like to buy drinks at our licensed bar; buy snacks or make a donation

A Youth Week takeover of the Hahndorf Academy gallery… organised by young people, for young people.

We’re turning the gallery into a full hangout / rave / creative chaos zone for one night only! Come meet new people, try something new, or just mess around with your friends and make some memories.

Expect live music, games, art, and heaps of spaces to explore. What’s happening on the night

★ Live music from The Pomegranates, The General Public & Tommy Marshall ★ Indoor rave room + DJs with DanceHall&Ting ★ Learn to DJ workshops ★ VR gaming with Reality Bytes ★ Henna art with Lucy ★ Temporary tattoos ★ Photobooth ★ Art workshops & creative spaces ★ Board games & chill zones ★ Sensory space if you need a quiet break ★ FREE food ★ Prizes + glowsticks on arrival

Basically… the entire gallery will be activated with something happening in every room.

Whether you’re here to dance, learn a new skill, chill out or just grab some free food and hang – this night is for you.

We know there aren’t many free, safe places for young people to hang out anymore, so this is all about creating a night where you can just show up, be yourself, and have a good time.

Bring your friends or come solo — you’ll find your people here.
