South Australian not-for-profit organisation KickStart for Kids(KSFK) has teamed up with Australian Fashion Labels’ (AFL) The Fifth Label to create – Come Together – a collaborative movement with a powerful message, that aims to increase SA’s awareness of KSFK and raise much needed funds for underprivileged children across the state. Come Together is the brain child of CEO and Founder of KSFK, Ian Steel, and Co-Founder of AFL, Melanie Flintoff, who want to establish an event that will focus on women and the impact they have on our community and share the vital ‘Come Together’ message – because every child, regardless of their background, should have a chance. To launch, the Come Together team will host a lunch that will take place on Thursday, August 29 from 12pm – 3pm at the Published Arthouse. Working with AFL’s The Fifth Label, a limited-edition t-shirt line has been created and will be sold to help raise significant funds and increase awareness about the work KSFK does to help disadvantaged children across the state. It’s a sombre fact that not all kids get an equal start in life, even in our affluent society. KSFK provides positive educational and self-esteem outcomes to underprivileged children through breakfast and lunch programs, mentoring and camps. Thankfully, SA charity Kickstart for Kids (KSFK) each week supports 350 schools by providing about 50,000 breakfasts and 10,000 lunches, with the help of more than 1200 volunteers. HIT 107 Breakfast Presenter and 10 News First Anchor, Rebecca Morse, has come onboard as the Come Together ambassador to kick start the movement and help support this worthy cause. For $99, guests can enjoy a grazing lunch courtesy of Chopping Board catering, raw treats from Love Jamu, Bird in Hand pours, The Fifth Label’s Come Together t-shirt and entertainment from acoustic guitarist Matt O’Brien. Tickets are on sale now at Eventbrite

We love anything that’s family friendly (watching 98,0987 episodes of Bluey can get a bit old) so when AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT (AGT) is on it’s a time to get the popcorn on the stove sit back and enjoy. Sunday Funday! Starting Sunday 28 July expect the unexpected as AGT unleashes a new wave of mind-blowing and original acts which need to be seen-to-be-believed. Get the whole fam together to laugh and cry on the edge of your seats as Australians of all ages and from all walks of life show off their unique talent, as they vie for the $100,000 prize money. Everything and anything goes on the AGT stage as contestants set out to impress the all-new, all-star judging panel consisting of: Nicole Scherzinger; actor/presenter/entertainer, Shane Jacobson; celebrity chef and clown-at-heart, Manu Feildel; and stage and screen star Lucy Durack. This fab four bring expertise, energy and fun to the AGT arena as they search for an act like no other, offering either a “yes from me” or buzzing them out of contention. Getting the party started and guiding contestants backstage to their moment in the spotlight is host, multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Ricki-Lee In a series first, Ricki-Lee joins the four judges in each having the one-time-only ability to use the Golden Buzzer on an act they think has that extra special something, fast tracking them through to the Semi-Finals. Which act will capture the hearts and minds of Australia? There can only be one champion. The winner of AGT 2019 will join a stellar list of extraordinary talent that the show has produced over the years including: Opera star Mark Vincent, singer/dancer Timomatic, R&B sensation Andrew De Silva, grand illusionist Cosentino, dance troupe Justice Crew and singing powerhouse Jack Vidgen INTRODUCING…..THE HOST & JUDGES! HOST – RICKI-LEE We all loved Ricki-Lee when she debuted on Australian Idol at 18, now the ARIA nominated and multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter has sold over a million records and her music has earned well over 25 million streams since Australia fell in love with her in 2004. This year marks 15 years since Ricki-Lee won the hearts of Aussies all around the country – and to celebrate she is touring nationally this September through December. How do you feel about being the host of AGT? I’m so excited to be hosting the show – it’s so much fun! I get a front row seat to watch the best talent Australia has to offer. Also, I know what it feels like to stand side of stage waiting to step out and do a performance that potentially could change your life. I understand the excitement, nerves, self-doubt, fear, worry, dry mouth and everything that’s running through your mind at that moment. Why do you think the show has been so successful around the world? It’s feel-good TV. Everybody is looking for something they can sit down and watch at the end of a hard day and just be entertained. There is no other show like it! Families and people of all ages can sit in the comfort of their lounge rooms and watch these incredible acts that will have you biting your nails, hanging on the edge of your seat, gasping with shock and screaming with excitement. What do you love about AGT? I love that there is so much variety. It’s not just confined to singers or dancers – it’s every type of weird and wonderful coming together on one stage. It’s always surprising too. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, you’ll see something that makes your jaw drop. That’s the beauty of AGT! JUDGE – SHANE JACOBSON Shane Jacobson is one of Australia’s most loved actors and presenters. Best known for his work in film, television and theatre, he’s also a song and dance man, author, screen writer, creative director, producer, executive producer, plus an ambassador for many worthy charities and organisations. The Aussie blockbuster Kenny brought Shane world-wide recognition, as well as an AFI Award for Best Lead Actor. He has gone on to feature in other popular films including Charlie & Boots, The Bourne Legacy, Oddball, The Dressmaker, The BBQ and Ladies in Black. Shane’s television career has showcased his broad range as a presenter and actor – from hosting Little Big Shots, The Real Full Monty, Top Gear Australia and The Great Australian Bake Off to roles in Beaconsfield, Jack Irish and more. On stage, Shane received a Helpmann Award for his role in the 2008 revival of Guys and Dolls. Also an author, Shane has found success penning his best-selling bio The Long Road to Overnight Success and most recently his exploration of his life as a motoring tragic in his second book, Rev Head. Why do you think the show has been so successful around the world? The one thing people love in entertainment is variety and AGT has more than its fair share! This show is like a Christmas present. It’s bright, it’s colourful, you have no idea what’s inside or what’s in store, but when you open it up, you’re always happy. And that’s what this show is like. It’s magic! What can viewers expect to see? There’s no way they can understand what to expect because there is literally everything you can possibly imagine and more! Are there going to be singers, dancers and comedians? Sure. Are there going to be magicians and contortionists? You bet. Is that all they’re going to see? Nowhere near it. I haven’t hit 30 percent of the types of acts you’re going to see. What sort of judge will you be? I’m thrilled and supportive of anyone who gets on stage and bares all in the hope of entertaining people. But unfortunately, we have to whittle the acts down. It’s heartbreaking but I like to think I’m the three F’s my dad said I should be in life and business – firm and fair but friendly. @theshanejacobson JUDGE – LUCY DURACK Originally hailing from Perth, Lucy graduated from the Western

Currently touring across North America ahead of European and UK dates, in this exciting live stand-up show Celeste explains the stories and mishaps behind some of her most famous images, her new relationship with celebrities, fans and stalkers, and comments that get under her skin. Celeste also hits us with a healthy dose of humour as she explains some of the pitfalls of being married to someone so much hotter than her (shout-out to #hothusband) and what it’s like to be an Anti-Influencer.

Need to tire some KIDDOS out? Welcome AFL MAX! AFL MAX is the brainchild of James Podsiadly (former Crows and Geelong Player) who had a vision to take the Australian footy experience to the next level, AFL Max has finally arrived. Together with co-founders Darren Thomas and Eddie Taylor, Pods’ vision was to build a safe and interactive venue where all people feel welcome. And there was no better partner than one of the most inclusive sports in the world, the AFL, to help that vision become a reality. Today, almost three years in the making, and backed by some of the biggest names in the sport, AFL Max is an indoor 5500m² family entertainment and training facility. The Centre merges state of the art technology and traditional skills development with fun for all ages. At AFL Max players and fans of AFL get to test themselves against bespoke kicking, passing, fitness and tackling activations to enhance their skills. Alongside AFL challenges, the centre includes a virtual reality zone, climbing walls and soft play areas. There is nothing else like it anywhere in Australia! Further, it has been designed for whole of the community use where the common bond is a love of Australian rules football. Whether you want to come in with the whole family and watch a game live while the kids play or you want to improve your football skills, AFL Max caters for all. With a bar, café and stadium style seating surrounding the main playing arena, its fun and exciting and a great way to spend time with your friends and family. We are hoping they are open for the school holidays and they do kids parties! Max Aerial Fly high on our AFL themed trampoline section playing various games and testing your spatial awareness, improve your balance and posture and getting fit while having fun. Bouncing or rebounding is great fun, and it’s also great exercise. In fact, ten minutes of jumping has been found to be about the same amount of exercise as thirty minutes of running making it one of the most efficient ways of increasing fitness. Because Max Aerial trampolines absorb impact it reduces the risk of injuring muscle and fibers. It also helps greater results to be achieved by combining rebounding with other types of exercise such as strength training and weight lighting. Max Climb Choose one of the 14 climbing walls within AFL Max and have some fun racing your team mates whilst working on your core strength. Climbing requires much more than upper-body strength. The success of completing a route relies heavily on a long list of physical factors, including intricate footwork, lower body strength and lean muscle mass. Although not often thought of as a common form of cardio, ascending walls is a sure way to get your heart pumping, similar to the way climbing stairs or jogging does. Climbing a wall also teaches children great hand, feet and eye coordination. Enhanced coordination skills developed through climbing can also be transferred to many other aspects of life, including other sports. It’s also a great way to reinforce the understanding of left and right. Max Rookie Max Rookie comprises of an awesome climbing tower and soft play area, which helps younger kids develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. And above all… it’s really fun! Max Interactive Think of Max Interactive as a giant AFL Gym where traditional physical education boundaries can be pushed forward, and take learning to a new level. Max Interactive has been designed to bring active play and active learning together using the latest technologies that combines lights, sounds, video and gameplay to engage your body, mind and senses in immersive experiences that allow you to develop your physical skills through play. Max Interactive will challenge your decision making skills in a fully interactive environment never before seen in SA. Max Bump Challenge your team mates as you work through the inflatable bump course designed by Rory Sloane. This zone also includes the bungee run and the giant slide. Apart from being amazingly fun, Max Bump is designed to teach kids proper blocking and tackling techniques in a better and safer way. Intense bounce back action translates neurologically; kids see their impact while avoiding direct physical contact with teammates. Kids master skills with reduced risk of injury when they’re actually playing AFL. Hours of operation Monday 9am – 6pm Tuesday 9am – 6pm Wednesday 9am – 6pm Thursday 9am – 6pm Friday 9am – 7pm Saturday 9am – 7pm Sunday 10am – 6pm * Hours are subject to change depending on the time of the year and for High Performance/Clubs bookings and AFL Live games.

ZOOM! Enchanting illumination and mystical darkness will unfold as Patch Theatre’s latest creation ZOOM opens across Adelaide and regional South Australia. ZOOM is a captivating story inspired by Crockett Johnson’s much-loved children’s picture book Harold and the Purple Crayon. A child is alone in her bedroom, unable to sleep and curious to understand. When a lost star arrives in the middle of the night, adventures happen and with the assistance of the audience, the girl discovers a community of people who can help her return the star home. Using original music, lasers and projections, ZOOM is the first work by Patch’s new Artistic Director and lighting virtuoso, Geoff Cobham. Geoff Cobham explains “Each child will receive their own interactive light which will aid as a little spark that keeps them safe and helps guide them through the interactive sessions of the show. We want to show them how the dark can be a magical place where dreams are made and that light is at its most beautiful when it’s surrounded by darkness.” 27 July – 11am and 2pm 3 Aug – 11am and 2pm 10 Aug – 11am and 2pm Age suitability: 4+ years Patchtheatre.org.au
