VERGE will be performed by WAAPA 2nd and 3rd Year Dance Students This November at Geoff Gibbs Theatre
VERGE is a program of two original contemporary works and a timeless ballet classic celebrates the skill and artistry of the graduating students of Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) as they prepare to embark on their professional careers.
Alumnus Richard Cilli, whose prodigious talent saw him accepted into the Sydney Dance Company on graduation, won a 2010 Helpmann Award for his performance in Rafael Bonachela’s We Unfold. After a break of two years, during which he danced with Sweden’s K. Kvarnstrom & Co and choreographed for the Australian Ballet, Cilli is back dancing with SDC, with his original work Hinterland.
Perth-based Brooke Leeder won the 2014 WA Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography for her work Mechanic and was commissioned to create a new work for the 2015 launch season of Co3 Youth Company. Rounding out the program, WAAPA lecturers Kim McCarthy and Danielle Hunt reimagine Marius Petipa’s whimsical Don Quixote Suite, based on Miguel de Cervantes’ acclaimed novel.
Choreographed by: Richard Cilli, Brooke Leeder, Kim McCarthy and Danielle Hunt
Performed by: 2nd and 3rd Year Dance Students
