essence
Essence of Sleeping Beauty transcends the traditional boundaries of the fairytale, bringing new life to an age-old story, focusing on deeper themes of time, destiny, and transformation. This production distills the ballet’s core emotions - innocence, enchantment, and awakening - through a blend of classical, neoclassical, lyrical and contemporary styles.
The Sleeping Beauty does not merely awaken from a spell, her journey becomes one of self-discovery, her essence shifting, evolving, and emerging with every movement. The production redefines what it means to be awakened, exploring themes of inner growth and personal transformation. In this interpretation, the beauty of Sleeping Beauty is not just in her external awakening but in her internal evolution, capturing the essence of human experience through movement and emotion.
Essence moves beyond traditional form to convey profound emotions, themes, and human experiences. In Essence, movement is not just about form but about intent, how a gesture can express longing, how a sequence can symbolise transformation, or how stillness can hold as much power as motion. It’s about stripping ballet to its most fundamental purpose: storytelling through movement, where every step, breath, and interaction communicates something beyond words.
Perth Youth Ballet, established in 2021 by Kevin Jackson and Leanna Del Basso, has quickly emerged as a leading institution for dance education and performance in Western Australia. Uniting talented dancers from across the state, to provide extended training and professional production experience with industry-leading expert faculty.
Continuing the vision and artistry in 2025 with industry-leading expert faculty, join us as we breathe new life into this timeless fairytale, and experience the magic beyond The Essence of Sleeping Beauty.
