Joburg Ballet brings sparkle and crackle to mid-winter with four sleekly neo-classical ballets at Joburg Theatre from 5 to 14 July. In a glittering collection of works collectively entitled Unbound, the company showcases four riveting ballets, including two world premieres, which are set to ignite the stage with the sweep and surge of 21st-century ballet at its best – and I have tickets to giveaway!
The two world premieres in Unbound are choreographer Shannon Glover’s I Think, Therefore I Am and choreographer Kitty Phetla’s Wakanda.
For her ballet, Glover, who was recently on a three-we choreographic fellowship at The Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University, is drawing inspiration from French philosopher René Descartes.
Kitty Phetla’s Wakanda, an expanded version of the Breaking Ballet episode made for Joburg Ballet’s partnership with branding company TBWA Hunt Lascaris last year, is set in the fictional African country of Wakanda ruled by Black Panther.
Also featured in Unbound is the Johannesburg premiere of Belgian choreographer Kevin Durwael’s Transcendence, a dynamic show-stopper that emerged as the highlight of a ballet gala in Cape Town in which Joburg Ballet took part last November.
The fourth work in Unbound is Esther Nasser’s The Angel Trilogy. To music by The Rolling Stones, Chopin and Mozart, it explores ideas of personal energies with vigour and quirky humour.
To stand a chance to WIN a set of 4 tickets, 1 signed programs and a pair of signed pointe shoes to giveaway valued at R1,152.00 Let me know in the comments below, name one of the local choreographers that will be presenting one of the ballets.
Competition closes 1st July and winner will be notified via email. The prize is not transferrable and cannot be exchanged for cash.

I should be “On Point” with saying Shannon Glover is one of the choreographers. I hail from the dusty street of Westbury Jhb, where the reality of a ballet experience is unknown. What do little girls dream of if they cannot see the reality of such elegance and class, I have 4 young underpriviledged kids from these dusty streets which I would love to introduce to my passion “The Art’s” . I have already purchased 30 tickets from Jhb Theatre in support of JHB Ballet for opening night 05.07@ 19:30, and would love for them to come along, unfortunately canot pay for them., please let the NutCracker, Snow White, Swan Lake not be movies we share or pictures we embrace, let this opputunity not pass them by to be part of “Unbound”.
