High School Academy

Welcome from the Artistic Director

What you are about to experience is a celebration of individuality, collaboration, and the ongoing growth of our young artists. Each solo work has been created and performed by the dancers themselves, offering a deeply personal glimpse into their choreographic voice and creative identity. Alongside these intimate explorations, our Year 12 students share a collaborative group work that embodies their collective artistry and marks the culmination of their training journey within the Academy. 

We are also delighted to welcome back members of our Academy Alumni, whose special guest performances highlight the strength and reach of our creative community. Their presence connects past and present, and affirms the lasting impact of this program.

This year, I wanted to shine a light on the unique individuals within our Academy, giving them the opportunity to share their own choreographic voices. Choreography is a vital extension of their artistic development, and I am proud to provide a platform for these works to be seen and celebrated.

I invite you to embrace the relaxed studio setting. This environment is designed to dissolve the traditional barriers between performer and audience, encouraging closeness, conversation, and connection. Whether you find yourself standing, seated casually, or requesting a chair, I hope you feel welcomed into an atmosphere of openness and creativity.

Thank you for supporting these emerging artists. Your presence is not only valued but integral to their journey here at Transit.
