Welcome — Welcome to Darwin Entertainment Centre’s 2025 Creative Learning Program!

This program has been designed to spark creativity, bring joy and enrich the lives of young people in the Top End. It’s more than a collection of shows; this program is a celebration of the transformative power of education through the performing arts.

Here at DEC we want to make the lives of young people better; we offer inspiration, imagination, play and new perspectives. We know that the health and wellbeing of our young students is paramount and that arts and culture can foster that foundation.

We have a chocolate box of performances to choose from; all specially selected to meet your curriculum outcomes and teaching goals. We want to give your students a fabulous excursion experience.

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the educators, administrators and leadership teams who work tirelessly to make performing arts excursion experiences a reality.

To our students and their families, thank you for embracing the experiences we have to offer.

We hope that DEC has offered experiences that make planning and teaching the curriculum easier and more enjoyable for educators and students alike.

We look forward to welcoming you to Darwin Entertainment Centre in 2025 and beyond.

Enjoy!

Accessibility at DEC Darwin Entertainment Centre is for everyone. We aim to make our shows accessible for children with disability, sensory and learning needs.

Accessible performances support an atmosphere where each child can react naturally and implement their own strategies if they become overwhelmed. Audience members can bring their headphones to reduce noise and a designated “chill out space” is available.

Wheelchair spaces are available for all events and a Listen Assist Network is available for most events. Some events presented may be Auslan Interpreted, or Open Captioned upon timely request.

We encourage you to get in touch directly with us to discuss the options for your class.

The following resources are available for the listed shows: Visual Story Visual stories help familiarise audience members with the storyline, characters and venue before coming to the show.

Ratburger Relaxed Performance Relaxed performances are open to everyone, but the environment has been adapted so that individuals with disability, sensory and learning challenges, or anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment, can access live performance experiences without barriers.

The house lights are dimmed, patrons can easily exit the theatre, the atmosphere is non-judgemental, and noisy enthusiasm is embraced.

Featuring a pocketful of puns, silly slapstick sight gags, and a splash of improvisational idiocy, 110% Ready is all about the joys of the average morning routine: sleeping through the alarm, not having any milk, fishing dirty clothes out of the hamper, burning the toast, and then finding the front door is glued shut, the shower won’t switch off, and the house is filling with water!

Bangarra Dance Theatre — Illume

Middle School

Senior School

DEC Presents

Darwin Entertainment Centre and Bangarra Dance Theatre in association with Darwin Festival present Step out of the shadows and into the phenomena of light – the central life force of our planet. Illume is an iridescent new theatrical experience, drawing together music, visual arts and dance to explore the ways light has captivated and sustained Indigenous cultural existence for millenia. Today, artificial light pollution disrupts ecosystems and obscures the dark night sky, devastating First Nations people’s connections to sky country and limiting their ability to share celestial knowledge and skylore. First Nations people stand on the precipice of the world under threat.

Illume explores the awe of light, a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. It charts the impacts of light pollution in a climate emergency and asks the urgent question: is the deep wisdom passed down from elders enough to illuminate a path forward from the shadows of a dark future?

SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre — LIFE

Middle School

Senior School

DEC Presents

Darwin Entertainment Centre and SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre present “I think there is a difference between being ‘alone’ and being ‘lonely’.

I mean, I’m not exactly an expert at life given I’m 15, but if you think about it, sometimes being alone is when you can be most happy, lost in your thoughts, dreaming, making plans, smiling at memories without looking like a weirdo. But with lonely, there is no way around that state of existence. Lonely is singular. And apart, and without, and silent.

Lonely is loud and white noise and isolated. Lonely is invisible.”

Inspired by song lyrics that resonate with the cast, LIFE follows the lives of teenagers whose safe place is ‘where the music is’.

Song lyrics are the barometer of a generation, they speak for broken hearts, moments of pure celebration and days where the whole world seems troubled and confused. Songs are the soundtrack to our life.

Following a successful first season in 2023, LIFE focuses on lyrics, sign language communication and symbolism, and is a contemplative performance that uniquely speaks to our young generation.

HELP YOUNG TERRITORIANS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL All young Territorians deserve the opportunity to be transformed by the power of arts and culture.

In a country where 1 in 6 children live in poverty, DEC alongside The Smith Family, have identified the need to break down the barriers that prevent our young people from participating in the transformative power of the arts.

DEC has secured matched funding from the Federal Government through Creative Australia where every contribution towards this cause, up to a total of $10,000, is doubled. All donations are fully tax deductible.

DEC and The Smith Family will work together to identify the barriers to attendance and the students and schools most in need of support.

But we need your help. By spreading the word, advocating for your students, and participating in this initiative, you can play a vital role in shaping young minds and fostering a lifelong love of the arts. Let’s work together to ensure that every student has a seat in our theatres and a chance to dream big.

Donations are already underway.

DEC thanks Karma Mayfield and Geoff Nourse of Adept Business Accountants for their generous support.
