Genesis choreographers

With his unique movement style and penchant for humour, Adam Alzaim is a regular on our Genesis program.

Born and bred right here in Perth, the Leading Artist has choreographed a number of pieces, including GAINSBOURG which was later featured in State.

Following his Genesis debut in 2023 Joshua Ballinger is keen to flex his creativity again.

Raised in Ballarat, Victoria, Josh started dancing at the age of just two, before joining West Australian Ballet as a Young Artist in 2023.

Brisbane-born Nikki Blain has been rising through the ranks since her first year at West Australian Ballet as a 2016 Young Artist. She received a well-deserved promotion to Solo Artist, at the end of 2024, with a giant boat on her head no less!

You’ve likely seen Nikki in every starring role and she can't hide her joy when performing.

Polly Hilton has a remarkable stage presence that few can match. Who could forget her cold-blooded rendition of Lady Capulet or the villainous Carabosse?

Since joining West Australian Ballet in 2013, the Hong Kong- born dancer has regularly appeared on our Genesis bill. This time around she has teamed up with Noongar performer Kyle Morrison.

We first connected with Kyle Morrison during the world premiere of our Noongar retelling of Swan Lake, and he has been a valued member of our family ever since.

Now, the former Artistic Director of Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company has teamed up with Polly Hilton to create what we're sure will be an incredible new work for Genesis.

With more Principal roles under his belt than you can count, Gakuro Matsui is truly a master at captivating audiences.

And that's also the case when he's choreographing! Our regular ballet-goers may have seen his most recent Genesis piece, In 3 Min 40, make its mainstage debut at Ballet at the Quarry 2024.

As one of three freshly inducted Principal Artists, it's no surprise ArtsHub recently praised Juan Carlos Osma's "all smouldering glances and an undeniable charisma".

We’re excited to see what this Cuban-born creative will bring to the stage in Genesis.
