Triple Bill
Weir / Lister / Horsman
#A celebration of exceptional Australian talent.
In 2025, our stunning Triple Bill showcases the best of Australian artistry featuring acclaimed choreographers Natalie Weir, Jack Lister, and Greg Horsman with live music by Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra.
Inspired by the sublime music of Antonio Vivaldi and Max Richter, 4Seasons is a work of beauty and intimate conversation that responds to the music through Weir’s beautiful and poetic movement style. First created as a collaboration by Expressions Dance Company (now Australasian Dance Collective) with Singapore Dance Theatre (now Singapore Ballet) in 2013, and later recreated in collaboration with Hong Kong's City Contemporary Dance Company and Expressions Dance Company in 2018 as part of a triple bill by the same name, 4Seasons premiered in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia to critical acclaim. It was also performed by West Australian Ballet at the Quarry in 2021. With a career spanning more than 170 premiere works for national and international companies, Natalie Weir is renowned for her highly physical partner work and her touching and emotive insight into human nature.
Queensland Ballet is thrilled to present a new world premiere by Jack Lister – an award-winning Australian creator, choreographer, dancer and filmmaker working across stage, screen and immersive performance. His extensive portfolio of works has been performed globally, with creations for Australian and international companies including Queensland Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Australasian Dance Collective and Milwaukee Ballet. This exciting new creation sees the return of his esteemed previous collaborators, composer Louis Frere-Harvey (Papillon, 2024) and lighting designer Alexander Berlage (A Brief Nostalgia, 2023).
Greg Horsman’s A Rhapsody in Motion captivated audiences during its 2022 Bespoke premiere. Performed to Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43, we see the beauty of a dancer’s daily routine, their mastery of technique, and their exquisite growth into an artist. Horsman is an internationally acclaimed choreographer whose works, include Coppélia, Glass Concerto and Queensland Ballet’s box office hit The Sleeping Beauty.
Please note: This performance will most likely use strobe lighting and theatrical haze and smoke effects.
#"…the elegant choreography accompanied with the music of Rachmaninoff once again enchants."
#"4Seasons showcases all of Natalie Weir’s trademarks such as fluid lines and creative partnering, and also reveals a flair for inventive, visually striking formations that only a large group of dancers can facilitate."
