Midway through September and we’re starting to get a stronger sense of what the new year will look like in terms of performing arts companies and their 2024 seasons.

Equally exciting is the opportunity to see a major new work from Australian choreographer Stephanie Lake (Colossus, Manifesto) as part of the double bill Études/Circle Electric (Sydney/Warrang, 3-18 May 2024 and Melbourne/Naarm, 2-9 October 2024). Choreographed by Harald Lander in 1948 for the Royal Danish Ballet, Études takes the building blocks of a regular ballet class as the foundation for a celebration of synchronisation and movement. Lake’s Circle Electric – her first full-length commission for The Australian Ballet – will feature her ‘revolutionary use of music, pattern and shape [and] is unlike anything our company has performed before,’ Hallberg explains.
