Melbourne Ballet Company

 "

Melbourne Ballet Company was launched in May 2007 and has established itself with the presentation of Project One "In Paradisium" June 2007, Project Two "Balanced Perspectives" in March 2008, Project Three "Scarce Resources" May 2008, Project Four "Emerge" December 2008, Project Five "believe" May 2009 and Project Six "Moment of Inertia" December 2009 as a vibrant and exciting arts organisation. The company’s repertoire aims to be acclaimed not only for its inventive choreography but for its dedication to every aspect of theatricality. The company will create 3-4 original programs each year. The works will be broad in style ranging from large scale ballets to small and intimate, from narrative to abstract. The common thread with all works presented by Melbourne Ballet Company will be the uncompromising standard of excellence and dedication to producing works with a professional command of every aspect of staging. This includes not only the high calibre of the dancers employed but the design, music, costumes and lighting of every performance.

Melbourne Ballet Company dancers will showcase athletisium, great technical ability and will bring to every rehearsal and performance artistry and incredible dedication to the art form. The dancer\choreographer relationship and exchange is a crucial partnership in the creation of new works for Melbourne Ballet Company.

The company will give prominence to a broad range of talented Australian artists. This includes designers, composers, musicians, visual artists and film makers who will be given the opportunity to develop their own art in a theatrical context with a professional ballet company.

The company has an ongoing commitment to develop audiences for dance. The company has developed educational programs for school students and offers workshops, master classes and summer/winter school programs for the young dancers of Melbourne.
