Ballet at the Quarry: 10 February until 3 March 2012
Bring a picnic, sit back and relax under a balmy, starry sky and be immersed in a wonderful choreography from around the globe.

Serenade

George Balanchine was one of the seminal choreographers of the 20th century. At New York City Ballet, his creative home from 1948-83, he was a guiding force and helped to define an American ballet style. Inspired by Tchaikovsky’s music, Serenade has its origins as a lesson in stage technique. Balanchine famously worked unexpected rehearsal events into the choreography; when one dancer fell, he incorporated it. Another day, a dancer arrived late, and this too became part of his acclaimed ballet.

Serenade is presented by arrangement with the George Balanchine Trust.

Strings 32 - World Premiere

Set to the exquisite strains of Paganini and Kreisler, Ivan Cavallari’s new work for the Quarry has taken its inspiration from ‘strings’ 1 how they intersect our lives, create music, define elusive parameters and connect us visibly and intangibly.

New work by Terence Kohler

Australian born Terence Kohler, currently resident choreographer at the State Theatre in Munich, is quickly gaining a sought after reputation in Europe for his inventive and imaginative choreographies. He returns home to make his Australian debut with West Australian Ballet, creating a major work on Carl Vine’s Percussion Symphony No 5.

The Sixth Borough

Imagine a city inhabited without our knowledge. One where possibilities are endless, turbulence is second nature and survival is a battle. Rising star Reed Luplau’s latest choreography is inspired by a New York urban legend and performed to music by Daft Punk and Maroon 5.
