After captivating London with rave reviews and sell-out performances Pryce makes his Australian debut in a production remounted exclusively for Adelaide Festival before its San Francisco and New York tour.

AUDIO DESCRIPTION SUNDAY 11 MARCH 3PM For more info visit http://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/2012/theatre/the_caretaker Never Did Me Any Harm Australia’s leading dance theatre company Force Majeure takes inspiration from issues raised in Christos Tsiolkas’ controversial book The Slap in a provocative new work exploring contemporary attitudes to raising children.
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?
In an exciting first-time collaboration between Force Majeure’s Kate Champion and Sydney Theatre Company’s Andrew Upton, Never Did Me Any Harm uses Force Majeure's trademark synthesis of 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.

17-18 March 2012
A workshop and exhibition project exploring Blind Photography with Adelaide’s vision impaired community.
Internationally exhibited, Melbourne-based Blind Photographer, Andrew Follows, will lead participants on a journey of discovery into the world that can be captured through the lens of a digital camera. Over two days participants will learn how the digital camera can be a very useful tool to show the world of vision impaired people. Then participants will be supported to take their own pictures of the world around them (cameras provided). As part of this support further workshops with Andrew and local Adelaide photographer Sam Oster will be run from April – July 2012.
Selected images will then be exhibited during the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) festival in August at the State Library of SA.
Participants do not need to have experience in photography or the visual arts but must be willing to try building a skill outside the square and to have fun doing it. Show the general public that photography is not exclusive for the sighted.
