Maddison has auditioned for entry into the South African Ballet Theatre School.
The auditions were held last Saturday at the National School of the Arts.
As part of their training, students perform with the SABT Company in its productions and have appeared in several seasons such as Coppélia, Don Quixote, The Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. They have also danced in three seasons of full length performances of their own at the SA State Theatre, where they performed works especially created for them. Under the direction of SABT Principal dancer Mr Andries Weidemann, the faculty includes well known teachers Ms Natasha Ireland (Coach: SABT), Mr Alexei Ilin (Ballet Master: SABT) and Ms Jennavera Williams (Ballet Mistress: SABT School, State Theatre)
The School gives learners intensive ballet training allowing them to audition for the Company at age eighteen. Learners also have the opportunity to perform with the SABT during its seasons when required and are exposed to the inner workings of the ballet company. The SABT School regularly hosts leading ballet teachers from schools and companies around the world offering its learners exclusive opportunities to participate in master classes and train in a broad variety of techniques.
What an absolute privilege and honour it would be if she is accepted into the school.
They said we'd know by the end of the week - so once again - watch this space!!!!!
