Elmhurst Travels

Saturday October 29th 2022

During every school year, Robert Parker, our artistic director and a former Principal with Birmingham Royal Ballet, heads overseas and flies the flag for Elmhurst. In the past, trips have included auditions in Japan and USA and earlier this term Robert headed to Romania to teach the Teatrul de Balet Sibiu company. Next year he will be packing his bags for a flight much further afield for our first ever face-to-face auditions in Australia.

It is approximately 10,500 miles from Elmhurst in Birmingham to Sydney and Brisbane in Australia. A long way and expense for our Australian applicants hoping to audition and train at the school. So, for the first time in Elmhurst’s history, we are heading to Australia to hold auditions in Sydney in New South Wales and in Brisbane in Queensland.

Our artistic director Robert Parker will be travelling to Australia in February 2023 to hold auditions in Sydney on Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th February at Sydney Dance Company, Dawes Point, followed by audition dates in Brisbane at the Queensland Ballet Academy on Thursday 9th & Friday 10th February.

Good luck to all auditionees who will potentially join a long roll call of Elmhurst students who have hailed from Australia.
