While preparing for the December 14-January 15 issue we received an email from an Australian dancer working overseas. She had a point of view she is passionate to spread: that too many Australian dancers are travelling overseas to audition for jobs when they are too young to cope with either the travelling or professional life in a company. Read her article and read the responses we received from artistic directors: How Young is Too Young?
We also have a fascinating glimpse into the world of backing dancers from three dancers who have performed with the likes of Kylie Minogue.
Touring is one of the pluses of any dancer’s life: the Queensland Ballet’s Matthew Lawrence has written an article musing on his experiences on tour, both at home and abroad.
For our younger readers (and their mums) we have a fantastic, step-by-step guide to basic stage makeup.
All this as well as interviews, nutrition advice and a Guide to What's On in Dance in 2015.
