Hi!
Tomorrow night come to the opening night of our spectacular, epic, and just damn huge exhibition Hard Lines by Kat Coppock and Tiff Hampton. Friday night, Fringe opening night, we have Back of the bus making a couple of busstops too, and almost nightly for the next few weeks. AND opening on Tuesday night, straight outta Melbourne, we have Twins, by Izzy Roberts-Orr. There's also relaxation and happiness sessions, reading groups and our lovely lounges and armchairs to take advantage of too.
If you're wondering where Dancing Room's gone, it's spending summer on the island! Head down to Rymill Island Tuesdays for their very special summer editions.

:: Adelaide Fringe 2012 ::
:: Thursday 23rd February - Sun 18th March :: Hard Lines by Kat Coppock & Tiff Hampton
Exhibition opening :: Thursday 23rd Feb, 6pm - 8pm - there will be cupcakes!
Fresh off the back of exhibitions "Les Petites Morts" and "Dirty Truth" respectively, local Adelaide artists Kat Coppock and Tiff Hampton have collaborated for a special Fringe mash-up of epic proportions!
Celebrating the theme of festival excesses, Hard Lines takes the normal and turns it towards the absurd. These two artists paint, draw, and collage their interpretation of emotional, physical, and psychological indulgence resulting in the largest exhibition ever held in this space.
200 original works by these artists will be priced below the poverty line, with all proceeds going to the human condition's noble cause. Following purchase, works are immediately available to take home, commemorating your moment of decadence forever.
:: Friday 24th February - Sunday 11th March :: Back of the Bus by Java dance Company (NZ)
Come ride on a bus through the streets of Adelaide as dancers propel themselves along the aisles and hang from the roof.
Physical comedy, pure kinetic energy and outrageous scenarios combine to create a magical mystery tour of the unexpected. Fresh from sell-out seasons at 6 NZ arts festivals.
Fringe event page - Tickets from $22.
:: Tuesday 28th February - Saturday 10th March :: Twins by Isobel Roberts-Orr
7:30 - 8:30 Tues - Sat. Bar open before, and after!
Patti and Sam have created their own world; a dark, satisfying fantasy. But the outside world begins to interfere. Unwilling to leave the cage they have made for themselves so enters Tai. A person they adopt. The seemingly innocuous Tai soon threatens to contaminate and destroy their perfect, insular paradise.
Fringe event page - buy tickets here! Tickets from $14 - or just $10 on opening night!
:: Wednesday 14th March ::
March Meeting of the Adelaide Feminists Reading Group :: 6:30 - 9:30Prostitution. Depravity. Artificial hymens. Welcome to the world of Fanny Hill. John Cleland's 'Fanny Hill, or, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure' was written while he was in debtors' prison in 1748, and was thereafter the reading material of choice for schoolboys to read under the duvet with a flashlight. While it is no longer viewed as the kind of book you smuggle out of shops in a brown paper bag, it still raises questions that provoke debate amongst feminists today: is prostitution a choice? Is it always exploitation? What constitutes women's empowerment?
Looking forward to seeing you there!Facebook event
Finally a special mention for another Fringe show that features the reading room: the Three Minute Project premiere!
:: Friday 16th March at 7pm & Saturday 17th March at 2pm ::
Premiere of the Three Minute Project, a film by Gen Brandenburg filmed entirely in the reading room throughout 2011.
