West Australian Ballet has enlivened our city and
State with ballet performances and outreach
programmes, which have enriched our communities
for 64 years. The Company continues to grow in
size and stature, delivering artistic excellence year
ON�YEAR�AND�THE�EXCITING�PROGRAMME�WE�ODžER�IN�2016 is no exception.
WAB has again brought together exceptional
artists from Australia and around the world, to
work with our dancers and creative teams to
deliver extraordinary artistic experiences to you,
our loyal and enthusiastic supporters.
From dynamic modern repertoire at the Quarry
and our ‘home-grown’ Genesis season, to beloved
titles like Beauty & the Beast, to Romeo and Radio
revisited and culminating in the largest production
WAB has ever mounted, in a glittering new Christmas
production of The Nutcracker. There is, quite literally,
something for everyone in Season 2016.
We exist for our audiences and our communities,
but likewise, we can’t exist without the support of
our committed partners: Principal Partner, Woodside,
and all our corporate partners and sponsors; the
State and Federal Governments and their agencies;
and our generous private donors; all of whom give
liberally and willingly to help nourish and sustain
West Australian Ballet.
I invite you all to participate in the artistic adventure
ahead in 2016.

As Patron of West Australian Ballet it is my great
privilege to invite you to experience Season 2016.
Aurélien has given us a programme that will keep
us on the edge of our seats, let us re-live childhood
dreams and fall in love with ballet all over again.
WAB is renowned for its engaging and adventurous
programmes. Somehow they always manage to
create a suite of works that move forward from the
previous year and bring something fresh and
magical to inspire and delight us all.
An amazing new classical production of the
perennial Christmas favourite, The Nutcracker, is
sure to capture the imagination of thousands of
children (and parents!) when it premieres at His
Majesty’s Theatre in November/December 2016.
Likewise, another family favourite, Beauty & the Beast, will make its Australian premiere in May.
Exciting new modern works will be featured at the
Quarry Amphitheatre and in the Genesis season,
and we will be delighted to again experience the
beauty of Romeo and Juliet back to back with the
‘pop’ sensation, Radio & Juliet.
I wish Aurélien and all of the Company well in
presenting this exciting programme, which I believe
all Western Australians will enjoy. I hope that you will
show your support for this wonderful programme
and subscribe to Season 2016.

Australian Ballet since 2008.
Both of our companies have a long association
with the WA community and a commitment to
EXCELLENCE�IN�OUR�CHOSEN�džELDS��/UR�RELATIONSHIP�has been built around our shared values and with
that, has come shared success.
Through our Principal Partnership, Woodside has
enabled West Australian Ballet to reach greater,
more diverse audiences across the state.
In 2015, the majestic Hearson’s Cove near Karratha
in the Pilbara was the setting for Embraceable You: Balanchine on the Beach. In addition to supporting
this tour, Woodside’s funding made possible the

strength and vitality of regional Western Australia.
As we look to season 2016 we anticipate being
captivated with each production, culminating with
audience favourite, The Nutcracker which will
enthral children and adults alike with its
enchanting dancing and exceptional score.

3Welcome
F R O M T H E A R T I S T I C D I R E C TO R
Dear friends,
We have it! Another year of artistic excitement
is waiting for you at WAB. 2016 will be a remarkable
year for our patrons and WA communities. ‘Colourful,
artistic diversity’ has been my motivation in building
this programme, which is one of the most ambitious
in the Company’s history.
The creation of a major new production is simmering
away in Maylands. The most beloved classical ballet,
The Nutcracker, will be revisited for you in the most
classical and traditional of ways: the growing
Christmas tree, the rats, the soldiers, the Land of
Sweets and the Snow Flakes… everything that
represents our cherished Nutcracker memories
will be on His Majesty’s stage.
In Europe, Christmas was always my favorite time
of the year – 30 cm of snow outside, a glowing
chimney, preparing the Christmas tree with the
family and hoping that Santa Claus wouldn’t forget
anyone. That very special atmosphere of a European
white Christmas is exactly what I want to share with
you all.
This new production will be a choreographic
collaboration between the three artists who know
your taste and expectations better than anybody:
WAB’s Principal Dancer Jayne Smeulders, my wife
Sandy Delasalle and me. We will make sure that the
dream and the magic of The Nutcracker will take
you on an unforgettable journey to the Land of
Sweets and beyond.
Quarry 2016 will be a ‘potpourri’ of short works,
including two masterworks from one of the most
talented choreographers of this century, David
Dawson. His brilliant piece, 5, is a virtuosic pas de
cinq performed on an original score of Adolphe
!DAM��/UR�DANCERS�WILL�COMBINE�VELOCITY�AND�technique to literally make you dizzy. A second work,
On the Nature of Daylight, is a beautiful and exquisite
duo performed to the music of Max Richter.

Talented young Australian choreographer, Craig
Davidson, will create a new piece for us, where
his taste for beauty and aestheticism is sure to
illuminate the Quarry. And WAB soloist, Andre
Santos, will revisit his work, In Black��džRST�PRESENTED�during our 2014 Genesis season) augmented for
our season ‘under the stars’.
To conclude this eclectic Quarry programme,
To the Pointe COMBINES�THREE�DIDžERENT�WORLDS��HIP�hop, contemporary dance and classical ballet, and
is a choreographic collaboration from dancers in
the Company.
In May we will transport you to the magical world
of Beauty & the Beast. Choreographed by David
Nixon, this fairytale story is set to the glorious
music of Bizet, Saint- Saens, Debussy, Poulenc
and Glazunov.
For September, we will present an exclusive
double-bill. The fascinating and immortal
Shakespearean tale of star-crossed lovers will be
PRESENTED�IN�TWO�DIDžERENT�VERSIONS��&OR�CLASSICAL�AdžCIONADOS��9OURI�6�MOSś�����S�VERSION�OF�Romeo and Juliet, alternating with Edward Clug’s riveting
