The Ballet industry is evolving, with management and agents becoming increasingly prominent. This shift brings both exciting opportunities and new challenges. On the one hand, we see dancer visibility expanding into mainstream channels, leading to increased awareness and wider appeal. Dancers are commanding higher fees, which is long overdue recognition for their artistry. However, this growth in costs presents a challenge, especially within the traditional theatre setting. If ticket prices and funding from donations or sponsorships don't increase proportionally, a gap is created that threatens the sustainability of the current model. So, how do we bridge that gap? It's a question the Ballet community must address collectively. Should theatres innovate to draw more audiences? Can new revenue streams such as brand partnerships, collaborations, or even digital performances help alleviate the financial strain? As management continues to advocate for fair pay and more opportunities, we must also ensure that the infrastructure supports this new landscape to keep ballet thriving. #ballet #dance #balletmanagement #balletagent

By 2025, Brisbane Airport Corporation's partnership with Queensland Ballet will have been one of the 'take-off points' for our artform, facilitating international engagement and reaching new heights, for over a decade. ?? Our Executive Director, Dilshani Weerasinghe, was recently interviewed by Brisbane Airport Corporation. She reflected on how Brisbane Airport’s support has enabled Queensland Ballet to expand its programs across the board – from enhancing the artistic excellence of the dancer ensemble and broadening the world-stage repertoire, to introducing community-focused creative health initiatives – adding that this partnership has played a key role in helping the ballet connect with more people throughout Queensland. ??

REFLECTIONS ON SCARCITY BY ANDREW GILDER As Joburg Ballet’s SCARCITY takes to the Johannesburg stage, South Africa stands on the cusp of a sixth democratic election cycle that offers a potential escape from perceived political “scarcity” and ferments (and foments) in the aftermath of a Budget Speech that cleverly leverages abundance out of actual financial “scarcity”. This pivotal juncture offers an opportunity to reconsider the role of the ballet company in our post-Apartheid country, and to reflect upon the impact and evolution of ballet across thirty years of democracy and whether the artform has anything useful to say about our current social and political lives. This reflection on SCARCITY, while heartfelt, is also limited in at least two ways: conceptually, because it is personal and confined to examining the societal and artistic role of the ballet company; and temporally, because it is a small glimpse into a dynamic artform at a particular moment in our national socio-political evolution.

Dance Data Project? Data Byte // Women-Founded U.S. Ballet and Classically Based Companies 2024 The Chicago Opera Ballet was the first American ballet company and was established in 1910. In 1929, Dorothy Alexander was the first woman to establish a ballet company when she started the Atlantic Civic Ballet, later becoming the currently active Atlanta Ballet. This achievement helped pave the way for future women-founded ballet companies. It is important to note, many of the female-founded companies were established before important laws were enacted to protect women’s rights. This includes laws like the Equal Pay Act (1963) which ensured women were paid fairly, and the Equal Opportunity in Education Act (1972) which provided equal education opportunities regardless of gender. Additionally, women weren’t granted the right to open a bank account or apply for a credit card on their own until 1974. These instances highlight the significant obstacles many women faced and overcame to establish successful ballet companies.

EVM & Ballet paper fusion to strengthen democracy 1. Create a machine which will count ballet papers fast. (like note counting machine) 2. Ballot Papers should be of one fixed size. 3. Voter will use stamp to vote like old method. 4. He/she will insert it in the EVM or EVCM (Electronic vote counting Machine) 5. The EVCM will automatically accept the ballet paper, it will use hot air to dry the ink of vote so that the ink will not spread & will not damage other ballet papers. 6. At the time of counting the votes on ballet papers will be automatically counted with the help of the same machine. #EVM #election commission #PMO #BJP

Visual storytelling is powerful, and in The Story of Little Ballet Troupe, it’s used to protect and share a rich cultural history. This documentary isn’t just for entertainment—it’s a resource for students, artists, and heritage enthusiasts. Through the visual medium, it brings to life the incredible journey of the Little Ballet Troupe, showing that art can be a powerful tool in preserving our traditions. Join us in celebrating a story that keeps our heritage alive! Exploring the depths of a dance legacy so rich and profound has been nothing short of a lifetime journey—one that few are fortunate enough to experience fully. We are deeply grateful to our producers who saw the immense value in preserving this heritage and chose us to bring it to life. They entrusted us not just with a story, but with the responsibility of honouring decades of artistry, dedication, and cultural heritage. Editing the film was a labor of love and endurance, stretching over nine intense months. We sifted through a vast archive of memories, each clip a piece of history. Some vital footage was lost along the way, slipping through our hands for reasons beyond our control—a loss every filmmaker feels deeply. But even in those moments, we held onto the story with all our heart, never compromising on its truth and spirit. Creating something meaningful is never easy. It demands experience, patience, and an unwavering commitment to the craft. Our behind-the-scenes story isn’t about the lights we used or the lenses we chose—it’s about the journey of learning, of telling stories with depth, and of sharing that journey with others. Each day we spent was a testament to the power of storytelling, one that connects us to those who came before and to all who will carry it forward. Poster and trailer coming soon. #BTS #documentaryfilm #indianheritage #ballet #indianballet

The provision of Close Protection can take you far and wide. It can also provide unique experiences that possibly, you may not have entertained for no other reason than not necessarily being your personal choice to do so. These include Operas and Ballets. I have watched Swan Lake by the Bolshoi Ballet no less than 8 times and I have to say, I enjoyed it every single time. The delivery of CP within such environments where the use of phones is simply not permitted (including the camera (!) can cause an issue in terms of communicating with team members outside and vice-versa not to mention the detriment of wearing an ear pierce in full view of unknowns in the immediate vicinity. Pre-arranged methods of comms such as RF transmitted and receives affording the ability to rapid click at much distance and through thick stone auditorium walls is one work-around that is effective and immediate.
