The Australian Ballet: Publications

Step inside The Australian Ballet By Lynette Wills

Over a period of 18 months, Principal Artist Lynette Wills kept her camera at the ready as the company rehearsed, toured and performed. Wills’ photographs offer a unique insider’s view on the life of a professional dancer with intimate portraits taken in rehearsal studios and theatre stages around Australia. The fruits of her labour have been collected in a beautiful coffee table book called Step Inside The Australian Ballet.

Cambridge Companion to Ballet

Ballet is a paradox: much loved but little studied. These essays reveal the conception, intent and underlying meaning of ballets and recreate the historical reality in which they emerged. The reader will find new and unexpected aspects of ballet, its history and its aesthetics, the evolution of plot and narrative, new insights into the reality of training, the choice of costume and the transformation of an old art in a modern world.
