An incredibly special opportunity to connect with students from Vincentia High School alongside the world premiere from RISE.

It was a thrill to see them step into the physicality of RISE and join us in a sharing of the work at the culmination of the workshop.

Led by our Company Artists and Learning Manager, Adrianne Semmens, this was a special moment of connection and sharing with some incredible young movers and artists.

It was a total thrill to stage the world premiere of RISE on Dharawal and Dhurga Country at Bundanon 🌄 Following a Welcome from Uncle Gerry Moore, our Company Artists stepped onto Country as the first rays of sunlight dappled the landscape around them.

A remarkable and very special first step in the journey of RISE | REST.

Thank you to Bundanon and Make Good Festival for their support of RISE and for making spaces for such deep connection between artists and audiences.

Think pink 🎆 We’re pumped to release our 2025 Annual Report.

2025 was an epic celebration of 60 years of ADT. We staged two world premieres across two festivals, embarked on one of our largest Australian tours in recent memory, reactivated our archives with a team of cracking academics and even launched a new choreographic hub at the top of a building.

Thank you for coming along for the ride with us.

RISE | REST sees us step out of theatrical spaces, bringing our work onto a shared ground where communities, audiences and Traditional Owners gather on Country.

RISE | REST is a new type of work for us. One that places care, place and a deep sense of connection at its core.

RISE | REST is a new choreographic cycle that spans a significant arc of time, with RISE taking place as the sun rises and REST taking place as day shifts into night.

Staged on Country and working entirely with natural light, these immersive outdoor performances are designed to tread lightly wherever they’re performed; centring First Nations knowledges and sustainability as we bring the physicality of our Company Artist onto a shared ground with communities across the country.

Your support can help us reach communities not otherwise engaged with conventional theatre spaces and reimagine a more flexible and sustainable model for creation, touring and collaboration.
