Teacher Professional Development
Professional development workshops designed to connect with, support and further a dance teacher's knowledge and skills.
Educators, dance teachers and studios play an invaluable role in the lives of dancers across Queensland. They are the igniters, the inspirers and the magic makers.
Date: Week 1 - Sunday 27 April 2025
Time: 9am - 3pm
Location: Thomas Dixon Centre
A professional development session tailored for secondary Dance teachers, led by Rob Binet (Artistic Director and Co-CEO of Fall for Dance North, Toronto) and facilitated by Queensland Ballet’s Education team. The workshop will focus on collaboration with low-vision and blind artists and audiences. Rob will share insights into his collaborations, choreographic process, dance-making, and consideration of dance and the performance experience for diverse groups. Content will align with Queensland Dance/Arts curriculum, with relevance to QCAA Senior Dance curriculum content, including the Dance in Practice Health unit, and will provide valuable insights and practical tools to enrich your teaching practice.
Date: Wednesday 30 July
Time: 1.30pm start (approx. 2-hour duration)
Location: Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre (Montague Rd, West End, Brisbane)
Program Update: Exclusive Invitation for School Dance Teachers
Due to a change in programming, the previously scheduled Professional Development session on choreographic process and dance-making will be postponed to a later date. However, Queensland Ballet is delighted to offer school dance teachers a special invitation to attend the Technical Rehearsal of Bespoke 2025—a unique opportunity to witness the creative and technical elements of this bold, contemporary season in action.
(Please note that this is a working Technical Rehearsal, and the Artistic team may pause the run to provide notes to dancers and technical crew as required.)
Places are limited. To secure your spot, please email education@queenslandballet.com.au.
