Experience a fusion of art, dance, and live music as Queensland Ballet Academy presents Soirée – a dazzling performance season presented in collaboration with Philip Bacon Galleries and Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, featuring artwork by one of Australia’s most significant contemporary artists, Cressida Campbell.  

Renowned for her highly detailed woodblocks and unique woodblock prints depicting scenes of domestic interiors, Australian landscapes and still life, Campbell recognises the beauty of the everyday, capturing the transitory moments of life, instilling her work with a timeless quality and enduring appeal.  

Soirée will showcase the artistic and technical skills of our Pre-Professional Program dancers with new choreographic works by Natalie Weir, Paul Boyd, and selected young choreographers, each inspired by Campbell’s art and performed to live music.  

This standout season also includes our Academy Défilé, showcasing seven levels of our students onstage in a beautiful presentation. 

Queensland Ballet Academy gratefully acknowledges Philip Bacon AO for his generous support of this unique artistic collaboration.  

Our thanks also to Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, for enriching this stunning performance season with live music
