TIME FOR SAFETY
When it comes to driving, the first year is the riskiest, and for the young drivers of the Territory, it’s a reality that can be all too devastating.

ENTER TIME, A powerful and thought-provoking performance from SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre, created in 2011 as part of the SLIDE Awareness Trilogy. This work is a heartfelt and urgent response to the escalating teenage road deaths in the region, with the aim of sparking crucial conversations around road safety and risk-taking.
TIME is not your average performance. It’s a raw, honest, and fiercely impactful piece that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities young people face behind the wheel. Through bold, emotional choreography, SLIDE’s artists deliver a performance that is both beautiful and heartbreaking. It’s designed to make you stop and think, to leave a lasting impression about the consequences of reckless decisions on the road.
This performance is a must-see for all young people, whether you’ve just received your licence or are preparing for that milestone. It’s a poignant reminder that we need our youth here, with us, living a full and vibrant life. The message is simple – every choice behind the wheel matters.
TIME is recommended for audiences aged 12 and up due to its distressing content, which includes references to underage drinking, death, and risky behaviour. This is essential viewing for anyone who will one day be behind the wheel.
The show is also part of Darwin Entertainment Centre's Creative Learning Program, with discounted tickets available for schools. Don't miss this important, impactful work that will stay with you long after curtains down.
