Congratulations to Li Cunxin (pictured top) and Meryl Tankard (pictured below, circa 1988), both of whom have received an Order of Australia (AO) in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
Li Cunxin received his AO “for distinguished service to the performing arts, particularly to ballet, as a dancer and artistic director.” Meryl Tankard’s AO is “for distinguished service to the performing arts as a dancer, actor, producer, innovative choreographer and theatre director.”
Congratulations, too, to Fiona Tonkin, who has received a medal (OAM) for service to the performing arts, particularly to ballet.
