SYDNEY CHOREOGRAPHIC CENTRE

The mission of Sydney Choreographic Centre is to train, mentor and inspire a new generation of choreographers. Founded this year by artistic director Francesco Ventriglia, it is based on the venerated Italian Bottega system, in which a young artist studied with and worked alongside a master to learn their craft. In this time-honoured spirit of “learning by doing”, Sydney Choreographic Centre will offer tuition in every aspect of dance creation, delivered by a faculty comprising working artists who are leaders in their field.
 
Sydney Choreographic Centre also has a resident performing group, Sydney Choreographic Ensemble. Ensemble members will work with program participants in addition to their own performance schedule. In April, Sydney Choreographic Ensemble premiered GRIMM, a new work by Ventriglia.
 
Francesco Ventriglia is an internationally recognised choreographer who brings to Sydney Choreographic Centre decades of experience and unparalleled contacts with important dance figures around the world.
 
Sydney Choreographic Centre opened its doors in April 2021.

SYDNEY CHOREOGRAPHIC ENSEMBLE


Sydney Choreographic Ensemble is the resident performing group of the Centre. It made its debut with the world premiere of GRIMM, a new work by artistic director and principal choreographer Francesco Ventriglia, at Riverside Theatres Parramatta in April 2021. 

With outstanding careers, both established and emerging, our beautiful, passionate artists come together to make this ensemble unique.

"The dancers ... are a dazzling collection . With dynamic skill, they perform choreography that channels every part of their bodies in small, singular moves to dozens of different and often surprising angles."
Jill Sykes, Sydney Morning Herald

A CONTEMPORARY BALLET by
FRANCESCO VENTRIGLIA


Heroes and heroines. Dark secrets and magical endings. Fairytale characters as you have never seen them before. GRIMM promises a world of imagination and beauty as Snow White, The Frog Prince, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel and others find a path through the mysteries and dangers of youth to find joy, understanding and maturity. There will be a witch, of course, but expect the unexpected in this very modern version of old stories.
