GROUNDED is a new pop-up precinct created in Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga during Adelaide Fringe 2018.
GROUNDED is all about being in the heart of Adelaide in summer and connecting young people and their adults to great experiences – a music festival, a film screening, theatre shows, interactive art installations and great participatory workshops to name a few.
2018’s coolest one stop Fringe family entertainment precinct will also offer an amazing array of delicious food and beverages, with shaded areas suitable for everyone to enjoy the fun during the heat of the summer days – stay cool is the only rule at GROUNDED!
Saltbush – Children’s Cheering Carpet - Theatre
'Saltbush – Children’s Cheering Carpet' is an interactive journey through the culture and landscape of Aboriginal Australia, celebrated through live dance, music, song and stories. Adults watch on as children are invited to explore, play and dance with the performers as the landscape unfolds around them on a visually beautiful journey.
The Secret Life Of Suitcases - Theatre
'The Secret Life Of Suitcases' is “a charming, ingenious piece of puppet theatre infused with a spirit of adventure” – 'The List'. Larry’s world gets turned upside down by a fantastical flying suitcase that suddenly appears at this door. This suitcase has a mission and takes Larry further than he ever thought possible.
Girl Asleep – Outdoor Movie screening
GROUNDED will present an exclusive free outdoor screening of the movie 'Girl Asleep'. Based on the critically acclaimed production by Windmill Theatre, 'Girl Asleep' is a journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind. The movie was first released in 2015 at the Adelaide Film Festival. As the sun goes down over GROUNDED, crowds can enjoy the pop up outdoor cinema and get amongst the summer vibes under a moonlit sky.
The Megaphone Project – Interactive art installation
'The Megaphone Project' is an interactive sound field using a collection of striking red megaphones of many shapes and sizes. The megaphones create an interactive performance field where the audience creates a lively environment of play with sound that is all of their own invention.
