Tanja Liedtke’s To My Suite to be performed by Sydney Dance Company’s pre-professional year.

On 13 October 2014 the students from the Sydney Dance Company’s pre-professional year will perform Tanja Liedtke’s To My Suite (premiered in 1999) as part of their graduation performance - PPY14 Revealed.

Craig Bary and Kristina Chan, the original 1999 cast have re-staged this delightful duet, which was originally choreographed by Tanja as part of the Australian Dance Theatre’s Ignition Series in Adelaide.

It is significant that Tanja’s work is being re-staged by the company that appointed her as their Director in 2007.

inspiring dance workshops – QL2

We were very pleased to be able to present the inspiring dance workshops to 13 young artists engaged in the QL2 Dance program in Canberra in late September. QL2 offers Australian dance graduates opportunities to develop professional skills and plan their career. This is the first time the inspiring dance workshops have been delivered at QL2, and hopefully not the last. Kristina Chan and Amelia McQueen directed the program and from all accounts it was a tremendously productive and ‘inspiring’ 3 days.
