After seeing Wheeldon's Oscar in Melbourne and Sydney I've expanded on my original thoughts. Just too much to say about this groundbreaking work. deborahjones.me/2024/11/18/osc…


I know. Lots of news about but here's some respite: more thoughts on Dear Evan Hansen, still in Sydney before off to Melbs, Canberra and Adelaide. It's not quite the great musical US reviews may have led you to believe. deborahjones.me/2024/11/06/dea…


Queensland Ballet's Coco Chanel ballet doing boffo box office in Brisbane. It looks divine, I have a reservation or two about it but the music works a treat. A more extended look than my early review in The Oz. deborahjones.me/2024/10/15/coc…


Some light (ho ho) weekend reading about OA's avowed commitment to musical theatre. A genre I love, as I do opera. But still ... deborahjones.me/2024/09/20/ope…


A gorgeous time had in Christchurch to see RNZB's new triple bill with works by McGregor, Foster-Sproull and Topp. deborahjones.me/2024/08/19/sol…


A bit of a bombshell to say the least. Leanne Benjamin leaves Queensland Ballet after only six months as artistic director. deborahjones.me/2024/08/01/lea…


QB's 2024 Bespoke program includes its first First Nations choreographer in the rightly very busy Katina Olsen. She's part of a satisfyingly varied triple bill alongside Milena Sidorova and Jack Lister. Read on: deborahjones.me/2024/07/27/bes…


Two things folks. First I write about The Oz Ballet in Adelaide & Newcastle on successive nights and also need advice on how to get the post to the top of the Wordpress blog. Used to happen automatically or there was a box to tick. Now nada! Help!! deborahjones.me/2024/07/15/jew…


Bangarra's collaboration with leading NZ dance-maker Moss Te Ururangi Patterson in Horizon has loads of stirring stuff, tho I think the program as a whole could have done with a tweak. deborahjones.me/2024/06/20/hor…


Still on a HUGE high after last night's @A_C_O concert in Newcastle Town Hall with Nicolas Altstaedt presiding. Incomparable beauty, spirit, heart, connection, all the feels magnified. Syd, Melb, Adel, Perth - get to it or forever regret.


Just like buses, TWO Romeo & Juliets came quickly one after the other. Here's a link to the L.A. Dance Project one. Just below it on my blog, deborahmjones.me, is the BIG Live show. Enjoy! deborahjones.me/2024/06/10/rom…


Terrific chat with new RNZB artistic director Ty King-Wall in Wellington. I was much taken by a thing he said about dancers and risks - "you can fall, and we will pick you up and support you". Tremendous stuff. deborahjones.me/2024/05/20/roy…


I do love a trip to Wellington to see RNZB, now led by former Oz Ballet star Ty King-Wall (great appointment). The revival of Russell Kerr's Swan Lake looked terrific. deborahjones.me/2024/05/08/swa…


I've now seen the Horsman Bayadère four times - latest was WAB at the weekend - so have given it a go but alas it doesn't make a strong case for this contested ballet. deborahjones.me/2024/04/15/la-…


The revival of Francesca Zambello's West Side Story on Opera Australia's outdoors harbour stage is a beauty. God, what a creative team: Robbins, Bernstein, Laurents, Sondheim. Magic. deborahjones.me/2024/04/01/wes…
