The Australian Ballet IDENTITY – Paragon

The Australian Ballet’s new production Identity presents two world- premiere works, Paragon and The Hum, celebrating Australian stories as part of the company’s 60th anniversary

This May, The Australian Ballet welcomes some of the company’s most iconic former dancers back to the stage as it debuts Resident Choreographer Alice Topp’s Paragon, a work specially created for its diamond anniversary year. The stellar line-up includes Lucinda Dunn, Simon Dow, Fiona Tonkin, Adam Bull, David McAllister, Rachel Rawlins, Kirsty Martin and Madeline Eastoe to name a few! If you have a love of ballet and have been following the careers of these amazing artists, you must see this work. It is extremely moving and such a glorious work. To be able to capture this historic moment left me very emotional and extremely grateful. I will be featuring a selection of my favourite images in print in our JulAug 2023 issue.

PARAGON has been created by choreographer Alice Topp as a celebration of The Australian Ballet’s artistic vibrancy, thirst for innovation, unique homegrown accent and the tapestry of artists that have shaped Australia’s ballet landscape, Paragon is a nod to the company’s 60-year history.
