Inside the Australian Ballet

By Diana Lawrenson About

Warm-up exercises, a half-hour call, time to put on costumes and make-up.Dancers gather in the wings, five minutes to go.The orchestra is ready, house lights go down.The stage manager gives the cue, ‘House curtain – Go!’ This is the moment everyone has been working for. From the time a ballet is chosen, people have been creating the dance, composing the music, designing costumes, sets and lighting; planning touring schedules, and booking theatres and orchestras. Others have been busy sewing costumes, making wigs, painting scenery, ordering shoes, preparing programmes, raising funds and promoting the ballet. Step inside the fascinating world of The Australian Ballet and discover the secrets behind the scenes.

Diana Lawrenson

Diana Lawrenson began writing at the age of seven when she discovered she could earn pocket money by having items published in the children’s pages of her local newspaper. Strangely, when she left school, a writing career never occurred to her. Instead she trained as a nurse and midwife, before leaving Australia to work in the Solomon Islands and later London. For many years she wrote for magazines and newspapers, but it was not until 1992 that her first book was published. She is the author of a number of non-fiction titles, including It’s True! Your Bones are Stronger than Concrete and It’s True! Your Hair Grows 15 Kilometres a Year as well as two picture books Pickle, the Perfectly Awful Pig and Paraphernalia’s Present. She lives in Melbourne with her husband.
