Treat yourself to stunning ballet and live cello music. Drawing inspiration from Johann Sebastian Bach’s evocative Cello Suites, this contemporary ballet work weaves a thread through the emotional, artful and mysterious life of the celebrated composer. Choreographed by Louise Deleur, Dancing with Bach captivates through the richness of the live cello and the intimacy between the three dancers and internationally-renowned Baroque cellist Louise King. Dancing with Bach has performed to sell out audiences in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Gympie, and Cooroy. Its a treat not to be missed.

Marketing Materials

A suite of marketing resources are available including DL flyer, poster, and promotional video. The work has strong connections to the dance and music curriculum in secondary schools, and is therefore attractive for school groups in addition to general public. To help teachers provide a rich, curriculum connected experience for students, the following are available:– Link to full archival of the show for pre or post classroom analysis– Free dance and music educator’s kit to help inform and inspire teacher planning

Community Engagement

Practical workshops in dance or music are available. These workshops are led by Choreographer Louise Deleur and Cellist Louise King respectively. Both of these artists are highly regarded for their skills in working with young people and are in demand as teachers and mentors in Queensland. The workshop leaders will work with local teachers to tailor a music or dance workshop package that delivers maximum impact and benefit for their learning environment.
