Adamek Productions

Adamek Productions Arts and Entertainment My projects and dance theatre works have been funded by Arts SA, Australia Council, and Adelaide City Council.

I established Adamek Productions in 2012 as a small arts business to manage my creative project work, delivering a national tour of physical theatre work Polecats in 2012-13, developed from its award-winning season at the Adelaide Fringe. This process took 5 years of planning, seeking sponsorship and investment, I restaged it and set up production infrastructure to tour at major venues opening at

the Sydney Opera house, Adelaide Festival Centre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre and Gasworks Melbourne. Adamek Productions has collaborated on 5 subsequent events and theatre/festival productions as well as dramaturgy, mentorship, and directorial consultation. I have worked across a variety of arts and entertainment sectors for over 25 years represented by SA Casting as an actor and as a choreographer for feature film (Cut, Cargo, The Nightingale, The Babadook) and television (McLeod’s Daughters, Out of the Ordinary, Beat the Chef, many long running TVCs)) working alongside Martin Freeman, Keifer Sutherland, Molly Ringwald, Stephen Curry, Essie Davis, Susie Porter. I am a leading voice over artist across on-line, e-learning, radio, film and TVC. I trained as a classical dancer performing with State Opera and numerous freelance gigs. Directed and choreographed children’s television as producer (Here’s Humphrey) and presented a lifestyle program for NWS Channel 9, developing and editing scripts and taught screen writing, media and communication at UniSA Creative. Awarded a PhD on Adelaide Dance Music Culture, delivering lectures, seminars, facilitated panels nationally and internationally and published in peer reviewed journals. I taught adult ballet at Dance Hub SA as an associate artist and artist in resident and was president of Ausdance SA. I am currently supporting the dance sector in Canberra as the Director of Ausdance ACT.

Did you know in Whitlam - many of the streets are named after famous Australian dancers? I joined and .morcombe at Alder Rise in Whitlam with other keen flash mob family and friends to dance on the street named in honour of her Dad. Alan auditioned me successfully for WAPAA after full time at Sheila Laing’s - before I spiralled into acting, so it was a beautiful full circle moment to connect with his daughter Floeur Lucette Alder and learn some of her beautiful choreo on his street.
In 2020 Ausdance had been approached to select a short list of 9 dancers who were commemorated this way….Canberra sure is the capital of dance!

Christmas presents bring Summer reading with accompanying felt figures beautifully crafted by our dear Margaret in Canada. My mum and her cemented friendship during Honours English in the Napier Building at Adelaide Uni where my parents also met. Her artisnal talents passed onto Depicted here, Sei Shonagon and Arthur and Guinevere trotting off to their fate.

Ausdance ACT won a Canberra Critic’s Circle Award for our 40th Anniversary Youth Dance Festival 2024 “What Do You Dream?” It was a huge offering and I was able to commission an opening piece with local hip hop choreographers and curate a foyer exhibition as well as the normal duties of creative director and producer 🤣 in hindsight I’m not entirely sure how I also sold my house, bought a house and moved house over this time. Sure because there’s a great team and system now in place, a partnership with which will hopefully make it sustainable over the next 40 years! 🤩

A joyous photo that captures the vibrancy of Elizabeth Cameron Dalman and her season of ECDysis representing her body of work from Australian Dance Theatre, Mirramu Dance Company and recent works evolved from her Nature Moves practice and intercultural collaborations - I was thrilled to host the Q and A on Saturday afternoon and talk to many of her company colleagues who are more like family and the layers of creative work they have evolved over many years - also excited to see a piece Elizabeth had premiered at Australian Dance Week for Ausdance ACT with Hsiaoyin Peng (Grace) 😍

The New Yorker recommended “The Babadook” as a horror film to watch for Halloween this year. Me the hideous social worker Prue.
It’s becoming a timeless classic! Jen and I were at NIDA together - she’s amazing director - and it is a brilliant psychological horror.

I was privileged to host the Q&A session for POINTE Dancing on a Knife’s Edge, the captivating and moving documentary about Australian dancer and choreographer Floeur Alder, daughter of ballet luminaries Lucette Aldous, AC and Alan Alder, premiered in Canberra on Sunday at Dendy Canberra to a warm reception from Canberra’s dance community. It’s a story about trauma, family, transformation and the healing power of dance.
A fundraising campaign is underway to support a captioned version of the film for accessible screenings and to assist with further touring. To contribute, visit: https://artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2EMn00000TrnDBMAZ/pointe-dancing-on-a-knifes-edge-screenings
