dirac Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 A review of the Australian Ballet by Geraldine Higginson for Dance Australia. Quote When the Australian Ballet last performed The Dream in 2015 Brett Chynoweth made a vivid impression with his characterisation of Puck. It is still a role in which he excels and on opening night his buoyant leaps, soft cat-like landings, remarkable agility and impishly playful persona were utterly compelling. Chengwu Guo and Ako Kondo danced the leading roles of Oberon and Titania with all the hauteur and command you might expect from a Fairy King and Queen, and Luke Marchant performed the role of Bottom with wit, style and some very well executed pointe work. Meanwhile the comical travails of the four human lovers who make the mistake of wandering into this enchanted fairy glade were well danced by Rina Nemoto, Valerie Tereshchenko, Hugo Dumapit and Mason Lovegrove.
