Bodytorque
This year, five up-and-coming choreographers from within The Australian Ballet’s dancing ranks will showcase works in Bodytorque; Jill Ogai, Timothy Coleman, Mason Lovegrove, Serena Graham and Benjamin Garret. From outside the company the work of Xanthe Geeves, winner of the 2020 Emerging Female Choreographer Initiative, will also be featured.
What is Bodytorque?
This annual program has become a breeding ground for some of The Australian Ballet’s brightest talents, including Alice Topp and Tim Harbour, both of whom have gone on to become resident choreographers for The Australian Ballet and created works for other dance organisations.
The Bodytorque program is enabled by the Geraldine Lawton Bequest.
“ Bodytorque is about emerging choreographic ideas for a new generation of creators. ”David Hallberg
