The Summer Showcase program features:
Wolfgang Dance, choreographed by Simon Dow using Mozart's wonderful, well-loved first movement Allegro from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.
Waltz from Birthday Celebration, choreographed by Mark Annear, created for The Australian Ballet School's 40th Anniversary Gala in 2004, highlights the flow and beauty of the classical ballet technique.
Heart Strings with choreography by Contemporary Teacher and Resident Choreographer, Margaret Wilson and performed by Level 6 students, is a suite of short dances, each with its own characteristics. Depicting "the group" and its dynamics whilst coinciding with one person's search for identity and belonging. Heart Strings offers a closer look at personalities and issues, real or imagined, in adolescent life.
La Sylphide, choreography after August Bournonville, is an adaptation of an 1832 French ballet of the same name. The original work showcased the technique of the great ballerina Maria Taglioni and announced a new Romantic era of dance. The preeminent 19th-century Danish choreographer Bournonville was the first choreographer to recreate La Sylphide and it remains one of his most celebrated works. In La Sylphide, the human realm of a small Scottish community "“ evoked by folk songs in Herman Løvenskiold's score "“ meets a spiritual realm, with James, a classic Romantic hero, bewitched by a beautiful and otherworldly sylph.
