DATT Update
The DAT Team are excited to welcome everyone to 2012. With both the Adelaide Festival and the Adelaide Fringe swiftly approaching, we are happy to include a wrap up of some of the shows that explore Deaf and disabled themes or include Deaf and disabled performers. February sees DATT offer two opportunities for artists and arts workers to increase their knowledge and skills in developing funding and resourcing for their own projects. This will help any applicants to the upcoming Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust grant progran that is currently open for submissions. As always, if you have any questions about DATT's activities and workshops, contact DATT on (08) 8231 0900 or email datt@cansa.net.au. Conexus 12 Now Available

White
1-4 March 2012
White is a visual poem, told though a combination of body language and facial expression, across a broad range of situations and emotions. It's a performance that is highly visual, one that removes the barrier of language and relies entirely on the visual to express what is white. Bethany, as a dancer, explores the symbols, meanings and ideas of the color white. Unicorns, snow, brides, emptiness and death. A poem of the colour told in the language of the body.
Cost $10  Accessible, High visual content Queen's Theatre 3, Cnr Gilles Arcade & Playhouse Ln

Never Did Me Any Harm
14-17 March, 7pm, Sat 17 Mar, 2pm
In a society where parents have less children, less time, more money and many more opinions on how to produce the perfect child, are we creating an environment that will ultimately lead to a future generation with more hang ups than perfections? Or is this actually an ongoing and age-old dilemma? Never Did Me Any Harm uses fluid movement, images and real-life interviews to deliver an emotional, humorous and insightful work that cannot fail to resonate with all who were once children.
Artist Talk: Post 2pm show on stage Sat 17 March
