Greening The Australian Ballet

Vivienne Wong

Born in Sydney in 1983, Vivienne trained at the Ecole Classique, the North Shore Dance Academy and, later, The Australian Ballet School, as well as studying at the Newtown High School of Performing Arts. In 2001 she travelled to Paris with The Australian Ballet School for the Danse de Mai. Vivienne joined The Australian Ballet in 2003 and was promoted to coryphée for the 2008 season. She loves travel and has enjoyed touring with The Australian Ballet to London, Manchester, Auckland, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Paris. In 2008 she was awarded the Christine Johnson Maple Brown Scholarship, which enabled her to gain invaluable experience training with numerous contemporary and ballet companies around Europe.
