Made in the US the film interviews the likes of James Whiteside (American Ballet Theatre), John Lam (Boston Ballet), Harper Watters (The Houston Ballet), Derek Dunn (Boston Ballet), among others and some young male dancers. As well as the screening RAD will be hosting a special ‘In Conversation with’ style event with a panel of industry professionals including Scott Gormley the film’s Director and Producer, Matthew Lawrence our RAD Male Dance Ambassador here in Australia and former principal with The Australian Ballet, Queensland Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet, Jake Burden the founder of Ballet Brothers – an organisation supporting male dancers and Mitchell Rayner a retired dancer from The Australian Ballet who is now a student on RAD's Professional Dancers’ Postgraduate Teaching Certificate (PDPTC) and pursuing a second career as a male dance teacher.
