dance theatre

Live on stage at the 2024 Perth Festival, we encounter an opera, a play and a dance work that each explores how the places where we live shape who we are.

We're joined on stage by Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, composers of the new Noongar-language opera Wundig wer Wilara, Dalisa Pigram, Soultari Amin Farid and Zee Zunnur, co-creators of Mutiara, a dance work that investigates the complex history of Broome's pearling industry, and playwright Steve Rodgers and director Kate Champion whose new play The Pool is performed in and around a suburban aquatic centre.

Welcome to The Bookish Ballerina Podcast, where we discuss ballet, stories, art, science, economics, music, and everything in between! Today, my guest is Tyrone Brooks, a former principal dancer with the Dance Theatre of Harlem and the current artistic director at The Tallahassee Ballet. We discuss his life in ballet, as well as the values by which he seeks to lead.

Thank you - I hope you enjoy!
