AC Arts dancers in Petrouchka
Adelaide Centre for the Arts dancers in Petrouchka
The Adelaide Centre for the Arts is a partner school of the Helpmann Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts. The academy assists emerging artists to make the leap into professional practice, by providing a range of programs and opportunities including exhibitions, awards, grants, mentorships and international exchanges. The seven partner schools that make up the Academy are the Adelaide Centre for the Arts and Vizarts O'Halloran Hill (tafeSA); Adelaide Central School of Art; Elder Conservatorium of Music (University of Adelaide); Flinders Drama & Screen Production (Flinders University) and South Australian School of Art (UniSA).
A group of second and third year dance performance students from TafeSAs Adelaide Centre for the Arts have supporting roles in the Australian Ballet's production of Petrouchka, showing at the Adelaide Festival Theatre between February 24 and 29.
Petrouchka forms part of the Australian Ballets current programme, Firebird and other Legends, three spellbinding Ballet Russes works which premiered in Paris 100 years ago.
The production features a brand-new interpretation of the iconic Firebird by Graeme Murphy, as well as Les Sylphides and Petrouchka, choreographed by Mikhail Fokine. All three performances feature musical scores performed by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
Petrouchka is returning to the stages of the Australian Ballet after an absence of forty years, with the performances in Adelaide the first of the national season, says Sally Collard-Gentle, dance lecturer at the Adelaide Centre for the Arts. For our students to be involved in supporting roles of such a high-profile performance is particularly exciting and a great opportunity for our dancers.
