At 11am today, Windmill - national performing arts company for children and family audiences - launched its new brand and 2009 season at the Queens Theatre in Adelaide.
The 250 guests, including arts industry, media, Windmill VIPs and 70 children from the Rose Park Family Unit, were taken on a journey of discovery through a large-screen viewing of a short film (starring the Rose Park students) followed by an animation which revealed first glimpses of the new Windmill logo and the story behind it. The original Windmill was sent off with a bang in a fiery, pyrotechnic spectacular.
