Haunted? Locating the Spectral in Australasian Ballet

Forum Theatre, Level 1, Arts West - North Wing (Building 148A)
Parkville VIC, Australia
This event brings together experts from around the country, along with artists and amateurs, to investigate how ballet in Australia remains haunted by its past — by ghosts, spirits, colonial histories and fraught absences.
