What an amazing experience it was for our Associate Performance Academy (APA) and Open Adv Contemporary members to partake in Sydney Dance Company’s Creative Workshop as part of their tour of Ascent. Members were privileged to learn some of the work from the upcoming performance and were greatly inspired by their teaching artist Siobhan Lynch. We can’t wait to see her perform in this incredible show next week!

‘Once Upon A Time’; an original ballet theatre piece created and choreographed by MDC Directors Alfie Scalia and Daniel Ryan with additional choreography by Natalie Lim, Jessica Fry and Evin Turan and inspired by the wonderfully talented Melbourne Ballet Academy students.

‘Once Upon A Time’, as a story ballet, was able to take audiences on a journey through many different fairy tales featuring an array of interesting characters, villains and heroes.

Filled with enchantment and poignancy, a touch of magic and a side of comedy, there was a beauty on display that also veered into an eeriness and a darkness.

‘Once Upon A Time’ showcased a stage full of stars and proved itself to be an audience favourite performance. The combined artist’s ambition and passion fully on display allowed Melbourne Ballet Academy to bring to stage one of the most perfect performances the academy has ever produced at The MDC Theatre.

Congratulations to all MBA staff and dancers! What a wonderful world you brought to the stage!

Melbourne Vocal Academy presented their inaugural performance of OPEN MIC!

Open Mic is an opportunity for each member of Melbourne Vocal Academy, the newest addition to MDC Academies community, to showcase their talents within the intimate setting of the MDC Theatre. Under the guidance of Vocal coaches Jessica Fry and Callum Warrender, the performers performed pop tracks as soloists as well as in duos and small groups. Members were able to showcase their interpretation and personal styling in front of a live audience. As well as their use of vocal and mic techniques worked on in their weekly private and group sessions.
OPEN MIC was a brilliant night for all and heralds in an exciting beginning for a new academy. We look forward to a future of new and amazing works from this talented group! Watch this space!

DAU SQUAD SHOWCASE 2022
Last Friday evening MDC Academies, DanceArts United, Associate Performance Academy and Melbourne Vocal Academy students performed in the annual troupes, groups and solos performance showcase. A night where students get to experience stage time as an individual performer or as part of a troupe in preparation for competition season as well. There is also an opportunity for senior students to develop and showcase, through combined effort, their own choreography in small groups.
Differing facets of performance is important to the MDC company ethos. Each performer was met with great enthusiasm from their audience and displayed fantastic professionalism as well as great passion for their work. Needless to say it was a brilliant and entertaining night of dance and vocal performance. MDC is a great believer in supporting and paving the way for future artists. Here are some fantastic shot of the night!

A big congratulations to the talented Young Artist Program students, who blew us all away during the Theatre Arts in-house Cabaret night ‘Me & The Music’ held at the MDC theatre. Students each showcased their self devised monologues along with a vocal solo performance, both under the direction and guidance from Theatre Arts directors Daniel Ryan & Callum Warrender. The Theatre Arts Cabaret gives members of the Young Artist Program the chance to express themselves as individual performers through their own scene into song, while telling their own small and unique story. The show was a great success, and it was so great to see the audience so captivated by the students periformance! We look forward to their end of year performances!

I AM SHE. What a triumph. A spectacle of youth talent and storytelling through dance.

The show was built around the idea of encapsulating the female spirit by asking the question “Who is She?” Using a variety of styles of Jazz dance ranging from Theatrical, Commercial to Funk and an exploratory form of Dance Theatre, and even including a quirky hand drawn animation by Director Daniel Ryan. The dancers leapt and turned, and poured their hearts into a 2 act physical performance that never let up.

The first act, Daniel Ryan’s “The Imaginarium”, proposed “She” was a multi-faced individual and showed her experiences throughout pivotal moments in her life. From a carefree individual, to becoming aware of the physical self, to a desire to find connection, and that perhaps, life didn’t quite pan out as “She” originally may have planned.

The second act, Alfie Scalia’s “She” used the experiences, the challenges and the dreams of the all female cast to create a production about breaking free of personal mental entrapment and embrace everything you are; to become the person you were born to be. Amongst the high octane Commercial and Jazz Dance set pieces were interviews, anecdotes and thought experiments, written and prepared by the female cast and edited together to create a singular, concerted voice by Director Alfie Scalia.

Held at the MDC Theatre, I Am SHE was the largest and most technically advanced and demanding dance piece to be put together by Melbourne Dance Centre’s Advanced Associate Performance Academy, offering a glimpse into the bright future of this Dance & Art specialised program.
