Opening Celebration Event: Beyond the Ballerina

ARTISTS: Joel Bray, Zoe Croggon, Anne Ferran, John McCormick and Adam Nash, Sally Smart, Leyla Stevens, and Anne Scott Wilson

Join us for the opening of Wyndham Art Gallery’s new exhibition Beyond the Ballerina, with opening remarks by Dr. Anne Scott Wilson.

The practice of Dance is multi-dimensional. It crosses many mediums, cultural contexts, locations and forms. Beyond the Ballerina looks at dance through the visual arts, taking the artform out of the theatre and off the stage, placing it in the gallery, seen through the eyes of visual artists.

Eight artists, working across diverse media, explore the future of dance as it merges with ritual, landscape, and technology. Through collaboration with dancers—and using photography, video, virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D video—they challenge our understanding of what dance is, where it can be experienced, and how we engage with it.

Beyond the Ballerina exhibition runs from 9 October to 21 December 2025.

Opening hours: Monday – Friday 10am - 4pm, Saturday - Sunday 10am - 3pm
