The Australian Ballet’s new performance, Bodytorque, is for admirers of bold, brave ballet. In this modern, edgy, chic showcase of new dance, choreographers take their first steps towards the world stage working with  Ballet’s most exciting young dancers.   This year, choreographers will be tackling the notion of the muse, whether that muse is a piece of art, film, or something more elusive.

Every woman or everything personified as a feminine type, considered as an inspiration, “ says the Littre, a 19th cent.
