Inside the Studio: Rehearsing Chaplin with Mario Schröder

We’re delighted to share exclusive rehearsal moments as internationally acclaimed choreographer Mario Schröder, former Artistic Director of Leipzig Ballet, collaborates with the young dancers of the Australian Youth Ballet and Tanya Pearson Academy to stage an excerpt of his celebrated ballet, Chaplin.

Originally premiered in 2006 in Kiel, this ballet was created by Mario Schröder as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Charlie Chaplin. Featured here is a memorable image from the original premiere, capturing Mario alongside actress Geraldine Chaplin, daughter of Charlie Chaplin.

Bringing this powerful and emotional work to Australia provides our students with a remarkable opportunity to engage firsthand with world-renowned choreographers.

Experience Chaplin live as part of our Triple Bill on Sunday, 15 June at The Concourse Theatre, alongside La Bayadère, featuring Queensland Ballet Principal Artists, and Viaje de Sueños, choreographed by Xanthe Geeves.
