WAYIN:THI

WAYIN:THI, produced by The Mill, is a First Nations dance theatre ensemble based in South Australia, grounded in culture, self-determination and performance-making.

Co-led by First Nations artists Caleena Sansbury, a Kaurna, Ngarrindjeri and Narungga woman and Kaine Sultan-Babij, an Arrernte and Gurindji man, WAYIN:THI's work is dedicated to amplifying the voices of South Australian First Nations dance and performance artists.

WAYIN:THI creates greater visibility for powerful cultural storytelling through movement and performance.

The Mill provides funding infrastructure, business and management mentorship for WAYIN:THI. Together, we continue our commitment to advocating for and mentoring First Nations artists, building on the legacy of our First Nations Dance Program.

Guided by Caleena and Kaine’s deep cultural knowledge, movement practice, and storytelling, WAYIN:THI will lead artists through collaborative creative processes towards bold new dance works and performance outcomes.

In Kaurna language, WAYIN:THI means to move or to flow.

This is movement. This is story. This is WAYIN:THI.

About our Galleries

Our galleries are located on the window frontage of our building at 154 Angas Street. Gallery I has a rectangle footprint with approx 16.4 linear metres of hanging wall space, and 38.8 square metres of floor space. Gallery I is oriented prominently at the front of our building with a large window facing Angas Street. It sits adjacent Gallery II, The Mill office, Foyer and Creative Industry studios. The Galleries have professional lighting, wall mountable screens, two projectors and a number of plinths available for artists to use. 

The Mill is a growing organisation, and as such we endeavour to pay NAVA rate artist fees, as well as providing curatorial support and modest production costs, however this funding is unconfirmed. Before applying, please consider whether this project is viable for you without confirmation of these fees. And keep your fingers crossed for us! We no longer charge gallery hire to artists in the Visual Arts Program. Submitting a proposal is no guarantee of acceptance.

We want to make the application process easy to navigate, please get in contact if you have any questions or need assistance email The Mill’s Visual Arts Curator Adele Sliuzas, visualarts@themilladelaide.com

Reception and Gallery Supervisor Role

Reception and Gallery Supervisors are the face of The Mill and play a key role in welcoming people to our venue.

Reception and Gallery Supervisors are also responsible for ensuring we are a great place to work and visit; helping us to keep clean, tidy, safe and professional.

Reception and Gallery Supervisors work closely with our team in completing a wide range of venue-oriented duties, in and around our spaces and alongside our artistic community.

This is a 1-3 day/PW volunteering role, please send a CV and/or short bio and list any relevant experience working in creative environments, arts organisations, galleries and or hospitality.

People volunteering can have this work count towards their CentreLink Mutual Obligation Requirements.
