ActNow Theatre is based on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people near Wauwi (Light Square) and Tarntanya Wama (Adelaide Plain/Oval) on Karrawirra Parri (River Torrens), Adelaide. We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. This land was never ceded.
