I interviewed the dear, late Colin Peasley when he retired from The Australian Ballet. Here's another look at it. https://t.co/kshWp29bx8

It was a quick trip to Brisbane for the festival but a good one. Here's what I thought about Bad Nature, which ends today. Apparently the final performance is sold out so you'll just have to experience vicariously. https://t.co/vgQi4BAx2w

A mixed bag at this year's INDance at Sydney Dance Company but that's all part of the experience. https://t.co/ZnlRizZ0Vg

Dear ballet friends, I went to three Adelaide Sleeping Beautys to see Auroras and Prince Désirés new and old. The Australian Ballet undoubtedly has more to come in its 48 performances in total of the McAllister production. Read on ... https://t.co/kalWfSLn9N

Dear ballet friends, if I can get to The Australian Ballet's regional touring program I do it. Wollongong this time - easy-peasy. As usual lots to love. https://t.co/pZVg795GWV

Dear dance friends, if you weren't able to get to Brisbane for Ballet Preljocaj's Swan Lake, you can see it on demand for free over the weekend. Yes indeed. Read all about it here. Plus my review. https://t.co/F4FLkUPos8

Ballet nerds!!! And others!!! Some very exciting news re gorgeous Queensland Ballet star Patricio Revé. https://t.co/YUjUJu0nnd

Queensland Ballet's Romeo & Juliet is a tough gig for a company that's in a bit of a dip at the moment. Still, lots to like, even if there is too much reliance on very young dancers. https://t.co/0KR3k2M0bk

It was a brief trip to Perth but a good one. As always I went to West Australian Ballet's always fun Quarry season and, as always, have things to say. Surprise surprise. https://t.co/qnGa3RD1rf

Ultra multi-hyphenate Karen Pearlman has made a fab new film that launches this weekend. But you can read about it right here and now! https://t.co/qG0YuhAe64

Ballet news! QB gets (another) new artistic director. https://t.co/zKc7WagwXy

@bernsta @LukeDiSomma Thanks! I have a feeling it may travel. Surely NZ will want to see it. Among others. Great subject.

Good on the Sydney Festival for commissioning Siegfried & Roy. On for the rest of this week. Gorgeous Christopher Tonkin and the insanely versatile Kanen Breen star. https://t.co/qCg25m5Tfv

I had an early one last night; tragic but true. So brushed up well this morning and decided to write about what I liked last year on the stage. Yes, a list! Who doesn't like that? https://t.co/Rp9GHtahWr

@hugh_canning @teatroallascala Are you EVER at the palazzo? And when are you making that much threatened trip to Sydney???

[Deborah Jones @debjonesoz]

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. https://t.co/kV3cofOXmf

[Deborah Jones @debjonesoz]

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. https://t.co/hS6D95vsSr

[Deborah Jones @debjonesoz]

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. https://t.co/RN5z3baZTr

[Deborah Jones @debjonesoz]

Had a fab chat with Francesco Ventrigilia about his new gig at Albert Ballet. The man gets around! https://t.co/ivQ1YKNn58
