Leap Forward - The Australian Ballet in China
Lisa Tomasetti solo exhibition


1 - 31 May

As part of the Head On photo festival 2020, we are pleased to jointly present with Black Diamondz Leap Forward - The Australian Ballet in China, an online solo exhibition by award-winning Australian photographic artist Lisa Tomasetti.

For more than 14 years Lisa has been the official international tour photographer for the Australian Ballet, one of Australia’s largest performing arts organisations. Leap Forward features Lisa's work from 2015 and 2018 when she travelled with the Ballet on their tour to Beijing.

Artist statement
​

It was an incredible experience to photograph the ballerinas in the busy streets of Beijing, juxtaposing their classical form with the gritty landscape of this ever-growing iconic city. From photographing tutu clad dancers in the backstreets of the Hutong where we were invited into people’s homes and greeted with wonderful hospitality and smiles, to the majestic performing arts centre (the egg), the incredibly busy Beijing Railway Station and in front of portable police stations, the reception from the public was bemusement and curiousity.

I’ve always said that there’s nothing like putting a beautiful ballerina in a delicate tutu in the middle of a bustling metropolis to get a fabulous joyous reaction!
