A giant of the dance sector, the much loved and admired Annie Greig died last Tuesday 2 November – a few days shy of her 68th birthday – after a long illness.
Born and raised in Launceston, Greig studied ballet when young and later moved to Hobart to study physical education. She became a devotee of contemporary dance following a secondment with Elizabeth Dalman’s Australian Dance Theatre in Adelaide in the 1970s.
