Blake Works VI (The Barre Project)

William Forsythe

A kaleidoscope of movement

The Barre Project was conceived at the height of the pandemic as an homage to the legions of dancers who, while holding on to any available piece of domestic furniture, attempted to sustain their professional abilities with at-home barre exercises.

The project's choreography contains no traditional arrangement of academic barre sequences. Rather, it is a rigorous display of the winding and unwinding kinetic logic that underlies the most fundamental elements of classical ballet's vocabulary.

Traditionally, the musical accompaniment for barre work has consisted of regularly metered excerpts of classical music repertoire. The composer, James Blake, also uses familiar time signatures to frame diverse facets of classic composition in his densely counterpointed structures. Blake's musical erudition allows him to navigate between traditional compositional conventions and contemporary genres with sophisticated ease, delighting and exciting performers and audiences alike.

New Work

Stephanie Lake

After astounding audiences with Circle Electric in 2024, The Australian Ballet's Resident Choreographer Stephanie Lake takes you beyond ballet's boundaries with this brand-new work.

Glass Pieces

Jerome Robbins

Ballet's urban heart.

Dancer, choreographer, and storyteller Jerome Robbins captured the world's attention with his ground-breaking choreography on the hit Broadway musicals West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof. Known for his evocative style, Robbins spoke his truth through his ballets. With Glass Pieces, Robbins extends across genres, fusing slick urban movement with traditional ballet to create a style that is uniquely its own.

Accompanied by Phillip Glass' music from Glassworks and the opera Akhnaten, Glass Pieces is an expansive work of art that moves at an electrifying pace, embodying the pulsing heartbeat of New York City.
