Creating the Spectacle

Lions Scholarships
Scholarships for Restless Dancers
The Lions Club of Glenside have renewed their funding for scholarships for members of the Restless Youth Ensemble and our Seniors group. The Lions have been very generous in assisting some of the Restless dancers whose circumstances mean that they struggle to realise their passion for dance through Restless. We applaud the Lions for their vision in providing this support that enables disadvantaged young people to be included.

Arts Funding Changes

Carclew moved to the Department for Education
Substantial changes to arts funding arrangements have been initiated by the Marshall Government.
Restless began as a project of Carclew in 1991 and at that time South Australia was the only Australian State to have a dedicated funding pool for Youth Arts. Carclew has had a long and proud history of groundbreaking developments in Youth Arts.
Restless still receives the bulk of its State Operational Funding through Carclew. We have been assured by Carclew that even though they are now part of the Department for Education, there should not be any major impacts on the company as a result of the move.
 

Belinda Hellyer

Development Manager
We were saddened last month to say goodbye to our Development Manager, Belinda Hellyer. She packed a lot of successes into her three years with the company including two very successful Creative Partnerships Australia Plus1 matched funding campaigns: Give Me Five and Restless Goes Global which together raised over $150,000 for the company. She also helped to establish our Donor Circle.
Belinda brought many international contacts with her to Restless and was integral to many of the recent marketing initiatives. She has attended two APAMs in Brisbane and two Made in Adelaide events at Edinburgh Festival as well as visiting London and Switzerland to help establish contacts for future tours by Restless.
Belinda wrote several successful funding applications and she also set a new benchmark for the company with the diligence and care that she exercised in the stewardship of the donor base that she helped to establish.
Restless will be advertising the position of Development Manager early next year.

Restless Going Global

National and International Marketing Initiatives
Restless continues to explore marketing opportunities for both Intimate Space and Zizanie. Michelle Ryan and Roz Hervey will attend the Queensland Touring Showcase in Brisbane in late October. Queensland Touring Showcase is an important annual event for artists, producers, presenters, venues and key industry players across the Queensland touring network to come together and exchange ideas, discuss new opportunities, plan and collaborate.
In early November Michelle and Roz will attend CINARS in Montreal, Canada. This is the first visit to CINARS by Restless staff and is a terrific opportunity to scope for future touring prospects in Canada.
Restless gratefully acknowledges the support of Carclew, the James and Diana Ramsay Foundation and the Sydney Myer Fund in making these marketing trips possible.
