WAAPA dance students present: VERGE

See the dance students of WAAPA soar in their final season for the year. VERGE is a dance spectacular performed by second and third-year students that you won't want to miss. Only from November 10-16 at the Geoff Gibbs Theatre.

WAAPA welcomes back acclaimed French choreographer Didier Théron, following previous collaborations on _Harakiri_ and _Shanghai Bolero_, to choreograph his 2022 work, _Atalantas_. Drawing inspiration from the fleet-footed huntress Atalanta of Greek mythology, this piece presents a cast of warrior women who fight for their future, their place as women and their freedom.

The second contemporary dance piece on the Verge program has been choreographed by Melbourne/Naarm-based performer, choreographer and teacher Deanne Butterworth.

For lovers of ballet, the Verge program offers excerpts from Don Quixote performed by second and third-year ballet students. This energetic work, will be restaged by WAAPA’s Coordinator of Classical Ballet Kim McCarthy, in collaboration with dance lecturer Leanne Stojmenov.

With both contemporary dance and ballet on the program, Verge is the perfect show for all lovers of dance. So come celebrate the technique, artistry and passion of WAAPA’s graduating dancers, as they take their final bow before embarking on their professional careers.

Bookings can be made here.
