Reformed in 2002, the
Tasmanian Ballet Company is a "Not for profit" public company, limited
by guarantee, listed on the Register of Cultural Organisations and is the State
Ballet of Tasmania.
His Excellency the Governor Of
Tasmania, The Honorable Mr. Peter G Underwood A.C., is the patron. It is a seasonal
Company, not a project based one, with an annual budget to allow one major
performance season in addition to its regional tour and the school dance
workshops programme which tours the whole of Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Ballet Company provides an official state-wide performing
classical ballet company showcasing all major ballet productions (e.g. Swan
Lake, The Nutcracker) as well as local choreography. The Company has a focus of
classicism, and as such appeals to a wide audience. The Company is committed to
making high quality classical ballet accessible to all Tasmanians, especially
those living in regional areas of the state.
Each performance season the Company contracts between nine and twelve
professional ballet dancers, in addition to the Choreographer and Ballet Master.
