Take the last step in an epic creative journey with

Slingsby’s triptych A Concise Compendium of Wonder.

The final instalment in the triptych, The Childhood of the World by South Australian author Jennifer Mills, follows two siblings cast out into a forest filled with danger and possibility. Set amid a great famine, they must learn to use the wisdom found in their natural surroundings to survive the journey home.

This development season not only offers students a unique opportunity to follow the creation of this work-in-progress but also to see how the worlds of each production interweave, building towards the premiere of the completed triptych in 2026. As an exclusive first, students will step inside The Wandering Hall of Possibility - a custom-built portable wooden meeting house - and be fully immersed in a 360º theatre experience.

The Shock of the New in Adelaide

An anthology of South Australia’s radical stage moments — reimagined by Flinders Drama Centre

Flinders Drama Centre is pleased to introduce their upcoming production of The Shock of the New in Adelaide; a curated anthology of scenes from pivotal South Australian theatre productions — works that challenged form, ignited cultural debate, and helped reshape our understanding of what theatre can be.

Directed by Chris Drummond and performed by the graduating actors of the Bachelor of Performance (Honours), the production transforms archival research into dynamic live theatre. From iconic breakthroughs to little-known provocations, this vivid, shape-shifting evening of performance offers both celebration and interrogation of Adelaide’s radical theatrical past.

This bold new performance season runs from August 6–9 in the Matthew Flinders Theatre at Flinders University’s Bedford Park campus.
