Double winning

For the first time ever, the same dancer won the Telstra Ballet Dancer Award critics choice and judges award. Double congratulations to a visibly shocked Chengwu Guo! © Jess Bialek

End of an era

"16 years, hundreds of shows, thousands of ballet slippers and a lifelong love of dance...we share with you Mr. Curran's final bow just moments ago at the Sydney Opera House." Nicole Lovelock, The Australian Ballet.

Concord

I was lucky enough to shoot The Australian Ballet's production Concord at the Sydney Opera House late last year, but haven't got around to posting the results here. Better late than never!

The Dancers Company

The Dancer's Company of the Australian Ballet is comprised of young talented dancers being groomed to join the big leagues one day. 

Firebird rehearsals

It was my privilege to shoot The Australian Ballet dancers in rehearsal with Graeme Murphy and Janet Vernon. The choreographic process always fascinates me, even more so when I get the chance to watch a master at work.

The Australian Ballet's Firebird costumes

I've been recording the progress of the Firebird costumes, designed by Leon Krasenstein, at the Australian Ballet. It's amazing to watch this process of painstaking detail which eventually make the characters come to life.
