West Australian Ballet has recently launched a new look and brand to symbolise a dynamic new direction for the Company. This new era, led by Artistic Director Ivan Cavallari, encompasses ambitious plans for the future - beginning with a groundbreaking season of dance in 2008. Ivan’s vision is to bring the world’s most renowned choreographers to Western Australia, expand the company to perform large story ballets, and for the first time, present a fourth season of contemporary ballet at the much-loved Regal Theatre.
