Brisbane audiences will have the opportunity to see France’s Ballet Preljocaj perform its production of Snow White at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) this September.
While this is exciting news in itself, QPAC has a special initiative aimed to help students* to take advantage of the opportunity to see Ballet Preljocaj. An entire performance (over 1700 seats in the Lyric Theatre) has been opened up to students* to see Snow White on Wednesday 7 September for just $18 per ticket. Tertiary and senior secondary students of dance, theatre, music, design, fashion and the arts are encouraged to take up the opportunity.
Ballet Preljocaj’s Snow White is created by the company’s artistic director Angelin Preljocaj, with costumes by world famous designer Jean Paul Gaultier, music from composer Gustav Mahler and sets by theatre and film set designer Thierry Leproust.
QPAC Chief Executive John Kotzas says the Student Movement will offer students from across Australia the chance to see a world-class company in action. “Price is often a distinct barrier for students in attending performance, particularly major seasons like this one. With the Student Movement we’re removing that barrier and hoping students who are passionate about the performing arts will travel to Brisbane and enjoy and engage in this spectacular work up close,” said Mr Kotzas. The Student Movement is part of a broader program of events and activity that QPAC builds around its International Series presentations. The full program will be announced in August 2016.
