Bespoke

Three choreographers, three world premieres: Bespoke returns with a fresh season of compelling contemporary dance. Now in its eighth thrilling year, Amelia Waller, Yolande Brown, and Robert Binet create a trio of new works to lure audiences into their worlds of innovation, creativity, and storytelling. Always dynamic, forever thought-provoking, Bespoke will expand your expectations of what dance can be. 

Former Queensland Ballet and Leipzig Ballet Soloist Amelia Waller has worked with renowned Australian and international choreographers, and performed works by stars such as Meryl Tankard, William Forsythe, and Ohad Naharin. Currently an Associate teacher with Queensland Ballet Academy, Amelia recently choreographed the stunning The Poetic Tantrums for Aspire ‘23.  

Yolande Brown is a Bidjara woman and former senior artist and choreographer (Dark Emu 2018, Imprint 2013) with Bangarra Dance Theatre. Recently, Yolande Brown choreographed the 2022 production The Sunshine Club, co-produced by Queensland Theatre and QPAC. 

Toronto-born Robert Binet is an acclaimed choreographer whose works have been performed across the globe by esteemed companies including New York City Ballet, Dutch National Ballet’s junior company, Ballett am Rhein, Estonian National Ballet, and Ballet Black. He also choreographed the music videos for Owen Pallett’s Song for Five & Six and Belle and Sebastian’s The Party Line.   

Inspired by music, art, and the dancers themselves, this premiere triple bill will linger with you long after you’ve left the theatre.  

Please note: This performance will most likely use strobe lighting and theatrical haze and smoke effects.
