Peggy, the exhibition

[Show as slideshow]

Right now at the Arts Centre in Melbourne is an exhibition featuring photos and ephemera of ballet visionary Dame Peggy van Praagh. The exhibition covers the full breadth of Peggy’s career, including early charity performances at age six; performing and teaching with the Ballet Rambert, London Ballet and Sadler’s Wells Ballet; her artistic directorship of the Borovansky Ballet; and most notably her artistic directorship of The Australian Ballet.  Thanks to the Arts Centre’s Performing Arts Collection, we’ve posted a few photos from the exhibition.

The Arts Centre’s Peggy van Praagh exhibition runs until 24 September 2010

Peggy! The Australian Ballet’s season dedicated to its founding artistic director plays until Monday 5 July
