Melbourne Ballet Company will mark its ten year anniversary this March with a contemporary ballet Being & Time, to be presented in Sydney at the Concourse, Chatswood and Melbourne at the Hawthorn Arts Centre.
Choreographed by company director Simon Hoy with Tim Podesta and Lucas Jervies, the three choreographers have taken inspiration from German philosopher Heidegger and his views on existentialism, as well as their own behaviours and emotions.
For the Sydney season, Mara Galeazzi (formerly a Principal with Royal Ballet ) and Joseph Phillips (formerly with American Ballet Theatre) will both perform with Melbourne Ballet Company in Being & Time.
Melbourne Ballet Company’s 10th anniversary year will see the company tour Australia and New Zealand with its Guernica and Arche programs, both of which played Hawthorn Arts Centre in 2016.
