The Collective
Get involved.
Opportunities for dancers, choreographers, volunteers, students on placement, collaborators and sponsors. Cast enquiries for Cinderella close 31 October 2026.
Perform and create
For classically trained dancers and independent choreographers who want to keep performing and making work on a project basis.
01
Dancers.
Two separate entry points: a cast enquiry for the current production, and registration with the collective for future projects.
Cinderella cast enquiries
Cinderella, Adelaide Fringe 2027.
We're looking for a diverse cast, including experienced ballet dancers, junior performers and non-dancing extras. This enquiry is for Cinderella only and is separate from dancer registration below.
- Closes
- 31 October 2026
- Who
- Experienced ballet dancers, junior performers, non-dancing extras
- How
- Email us with your name, age group and the category you're interested in. We'll send you the information for that category.
Dancer registration
Register with the collective.
For classically trained dancers wanting to keep performing and creating beyond mainstream company pathways.
Email us to express your interest. We'll send you an audition form to complete.
Auditioning is a path to becoming a registered dancer with the collective. It does not guarantee casting in any specific production. When each project is cast, registered dancers are given first consideration.
Audition form requires
- A headshot or dance photo
- An audition video (recording quality is not assessed)
Video must include classical ballet content.
Calisthenics and Lyrical are not considered ballet for this purpose.
Classical repertoire or a ballet class recording is preferred.
If filming is difficult, get in touch to discuss.
If you are auditioning for pointe roles, include footage of yourself dancing en pointe.
Solo or group footage is accepted.
02
Choreographers.
For independent choreographers with original work to develop and stage.
Email us to express your interest. We'll send you a proposal form to complete.
Registration allows us to consider your work for future projects, and each season's programme draws first from registered choreographers. Proposals are assessed against each project's artistic and practical requirements, and registration does not guarantee programming.
Proposal form requires
- A past show reel
- A CV
- An idea pitch
“Dancing for Ballet Rogue gave me a chance to get back on stage after a hiatus post pre-professional training. The community is supportive, creative and diverse.”

Collaborators.
Ballet Rogue collaborates with musicians, composers, designers, photographers, filmmakers, theatre-makers and visual artists on specific projects. We are interested in proposals that share our standards of preparation and craft.

Sponsors.
Sponsorship funds the practical conditions that allow independent ballet work to exist: rehearsal time, artist fees, production costs, costumes, documentation and performance opportunities.
Since 2025 that support has staged a sold-out debut season at Adelaide Fringe, a regional tour to Gawler and Victor Harbor and a joint concert with live chamber music. See the Repertoire for what each season produced.
