The Australian Ballet is coming to Don College!

Dayna and the performing arts students are excited to announce The Australian Ballet are coming to Don to host choreography, dance and creative performance workshops on Friday May 6. 

Dance, drama and theatre students will be participating, along with an open invitation to any interested student who would like to join in. There will also be an opportunity to view a half hour duet performance of their Regional Touring Show, choreographed by an indigenous choreographer, titled, The Story of Pomi and Gobba. 

This opportunity came about as the result of several big touring companies having to reassess how they share their work with audiences. As a result of Covid isolation, The Sydney Dance Company and the Australian Ballet both conducted zoom workshops with regional communities to overcome barriers for accessing quality professional performance experiences. As a result of Don’s participation in these over the past two years, we have now worked up a positive working relationship which has lead to us being offered to host this experience, and it’s all totally FREE! We feel very lucky!

 Any students wishing to participate can email Dayna or leave a note for her in her office to express interest in the workshop.
