Education :: Ballet at the Quarry
West Australian Ballet
Suitable for Secondary students
Learning links: Dance
Themes: spirituality, romance, classical dance juxtaposed with contemporary music
Celebrated Australian choreographer Natalie Weir presents Lacrimosa, inspired by Mozart’s Requiem, written just before his death. Weir says ‘A beautiful cohesion exists between the human voice and dance and its ability to touch and move one’s soul, sometimes without us knowing why’.
The evening continues with Lickety-Split by internationally-acclaimed Spanish choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo. Beguiling, romantic and humorous, Lickety-Split was originally commissioned and performed by Hubbard Street Dance in Chicago.
Finally, talented Australian Timothy Harbour, who has choreographed for The New York Choreographic Institute and The Australian Ballet, presents the world premiere of a new work created especially for Ballet at the Quarry.
The West Australian Ballet will be presenting a superb evening of three ballets in one night. Inspire your students by bringing them to an uplifting and memorable performance under the stars.
