WHO WE ARE
|
Promise is an organisation set up to promote music and performing arts for youth in South Australia. Highly trained, often by industry professionals, our young singers, dancers and musicians are looking to put that training into practice in a way that goes beyond what many schools and community clubs can offer.
Emerging artists, who are often too young to take part in the amateur theatre and music scene in Adelaide, demonstrate great talent and have lots to offer the Adelaide Theatre community. These young people need to hone their craft by gaining performance experience. Promise identifies and creates opportunities for emerging artists to develop and gain exposure in South Australia and beyond, whilst having fun and raising funds for a wide range of charities. |
WHAT WE DO
|
Promise has presented four major cabaret fundraisers: Songs From Stage and Screen, which raised over $2000 for Breast Cancer Research through the Cancer Council; Heart To Heart, which raised over $2000 for The Heart Foundation; Out Of The Blue, which raised over $4000 for beyondblue; and #SHe which raised a massive $6,500 for White Ribbon, and Rising Stars, which raised over $4000 for The Starlight Foundation. Cumulatively, Promise Adelaide has raised over $20,000 for charity.
Promise Adelaide is committed to providing young artists with opportunities to perform during the Adelaide Fringe Festival. In the 2016 Adelaide Fringe Festival, Promise produced Musical Moments, a season of musical theatre cabaret's which provided forty-eight performers the opportunity to perform to sell-out crowds in the world's biggest Fringe Festival. A return season in 2017 saw a further forty seven performers have this exciting experience. Promise Adelaide is also proud to present both dramatic and musical productions that provide challenging roles for emerging artists. Our aim is to find new and unusual works and revisit pieces seldom done in the Adelaide amateur theatre scene. Our productions will feature roles for performers under the age of 25 but not necessarily exclusively, as we value the learning opportunities created from working with more experienced actors and musicians. We also take pride in providing mentoring opportunities for emerging production teams members. In May 2017, Promise Adelaide produced their first play, Private Peaceful, performed by Ben to critical acclaim. Following it's success we are now in discussions about future musical and theatrical productions. |
