Queensland Ballet Academy: Soirée
A fusion of visual art, dance, and live music.
Experience a fusion of art, dance, and live music as Queensland Ballet Academy presents Soirée – a dazzling annual performance season in collaboration with Philip Bacon Galleries and in 2024, internationally-acclaimed artist William Robinson.
Soirée showcases the artistic and technical skills of Queensland Ballet Academy’s Level 1 Classical and Contemporary Course and Pre-Professional Program dancers. This creative fusion between Australian artists, Australian choreographers, and talented Academy dancers is a special highlight on the Brisbane arts calendar.
Soirée presents a unique opportunity to witness a night of creative collaboration, featuring new choreographic works inspired by art pieces and performed to live music by Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra. Audiences will experience a program of vibrant contemporary and classical dance in Queensland Ballet’s home – the Thomas Dixon Centre, in what has become a signature event for any arts lover.
This standout season also includes the Academy Défilé, showcasing seven levels of Queensland Ballet Academy students onstage in a beautiful presentation, as well as new works choreographed by Natalie Weir, Paul Boyd and Louise Deleur and Queensland Ballet Academy Pre-Professional Program dancers.
