A new home for ADT

Back

Australian Dance Theatre has recently moved to a new home – the Odeon Theatre – and are currently redeveloping this iconic Adelaide theatre into a multipurpose performance space that supports the vibrant Adelaide dance sector. As the resident professional company, we will be undertaking renewal of the venue to provide a multi-purpose venue with flexible performance space as well as a studio for creative development and rehearsal, ensuring that it meets the needs of Australian Dance Theatre and other Adelaide dancers and dance makers who currently have limited capability to regularly present work in their hometown. The upgraded facilities will provide an additional first class performance space in Adelaide.

The venue will be available for hire from January 2018. Please contact Australian Dance Theatre for more information and enquiries.
