Queensland Ballet’s Post

Dance Data Project® Data Byte // Women-Founded U.S. Ballet and Classically Based Companies 2024 The Chicago Opera Ballet was the first American ballet company and was established in 1910. In 1929, Dorothy Alexander was the first woman to establish a ballet company when she started the Atlantic Civic Ballet, later becoming the currently active Atlanta Ballet. This achievement helped pave the way for future women-founded ballet companies. It is important to note, many of the female-founded companies were established before important laws were enacted to protect women’s rights. This includes laws like the Equal Pay Act (1963) which ensured women were paid fairly, and the Equal Opportunity in Education Act (1972) which provided equal education opportunities regardless of gender. Additionally, women weren’t granted the right to open a bank account or apply for a credit card on their own until 1974. These instances highlight the significant obstacles many women faced and overcame to establish successful ballet companies.

EVM & Ballet paper fusion to strengthen democracy 1. Create a machine which will count ballet papers fast. (like note counting machine) 2. Ballot Papers should be of one fixed size. 3. Voter will use stamp to vote like old method. 4. He/she will insert it in the EVM or EVCM (Electronic vote counting Machine) 5. The EVCM will automatically accept the ballet paper, it will use hot air to dry the ink of vote so that the ink will not spread & will not damage other ballet papers. 6. At the time of counting the votes on ballet papers will be automatically counted with the help of the same machine. #EVM #election commission #PMO #BJP

REFLECTIONS ON SCARCITY BY ANDREW GILDER As Joburg Ballet’s SCARCITY takes to the Johannesburg stage, South Africa stands on the cusp of a sixth democratic election cycle that offers a potential escape from perceived political “scarcity” and ferments (and foments) in the aftermath of a Budget Speech that cleverly leverages abundance out of actual financial “scarcity”. This pivotal juncture offers an opportunity to reconsider the role of the ballet company in our post-Apartheid country, and to reflect upon the impact and evolution of ballet across thirty years of democracy and whether the artform has anything useful to say about our current social and political lives. This reflection on SCARCITY, while heartfelt, is also limited in at least two ways: conceptually, because it is personal and confined to examining the societal and artistic role of the ballet company; and temporally, because it is a small glimpse into a dynamic artform at a particular moment in our national socio-political evolution.

🌍 Why are we at Fundamentally Dance investing so much time in developing an international touring network for ballet productions? 🤔 The answer is simple: it’s not for us. It’s for the dance ecology as a whole. Ballet, like all art forms, thrives on exchange of ideas, cultures, and creativity. By creating a connected global network, we’re not only giving dancers and companies the opportunity to connect with new audiences, but we’re also nurturing a new vision for Ballet. But for this vision to last, it needs to be financially viable. We’re building a network that ensures ballet can grow into a sustainable, financially sound model for investment. Because when ballet becomes a thriving, profitable industry, it creates more jobs, opportunities, and the security needed for art to flourish. 🎭💰 We envision a future where artists grow without boundaries, where companies thrive through shared resources, and where ballet becomes a model of creative and financial success. At the heart of this mission is our desire to empower the dance community—locally and globally. When we create opportunities for others, we strengthen the entire dance world. 💪💃🩰 #GlobalDance #BalletForEveryone #ArtsWithoutBorders #DanceNetwork #SustainableArts #FundamentallyDance

Morning Insights: Will Florida be the next adult-use state? The Supreme Court rules that it will appear on the upcoming November ballet, but will need 60% of voters to get on board. If passed, will the state be the next "green" rush as it is viewed by many US MJ operators? #floridacannabis #cannabisindustry #cannabisbusiness #prerolls #FloridaLegalization Data Source: MJBiz, Forbes

I know a lot more about rugby than I do about ballet. What I do understand is the dedication. As our Practice Makes Perfect campaigns states: There is no shortcut to excellence. Ballet d'Jèrri know this well. Here are my thoughts on what ballet and litigation have in common in the pursuit excellence. - It takes teamwork. You need strength at every level and each member of the team committed to delivering the best for the audience (or in our case the client). - It takes constant practice. The fundamentals of ballet, like the fundamentals of law do not change. You practice and learn so you can apply these fundamentals in ever more complicated scenarios. You practice so you can make it look easy. - It takes creativity. Ballet is more outwardly creative than the legal world. However, at Baker & Partners we look for alternative solutions to problems. If we meet a road block we do not give up. We find a way round for our clients. - It takes guts. Performing on a stage. Standing up in court. You need to have confidence. Confidence comes from having a great team, solid teachers and years worth of practice. These things have the best chance of happening when the environment allows talent to thrive. At Baker & Partners this is what we strive to create.
