  • Lose Everything ... And Find Yourself : David Hallberg
    2017/12/15
    Described by the New Yorker as “the most exciting male dancer in the Western world”, David was at the peak of his powers when he suffered a devastating injury that could have ended his career. He turned to The Australian Ballet’s medical team for help, and began a journey involving intense self-reflection, reinvention and the realisation that sometimes the end is just the beginning. BIO David Hallberg made history in 2011 by becoming the first dancer to occupy principal rank at American Ballet Theatre and the first American Principal at Bolshoi Ballet. After working with The Australian Ballet’s medical team to make a heroic recovery from a two-and-a-half-year injury, he is back dancing with American Ballet Theatre, appearing with The Australian Ballet as its resident guest artist, and featuring as an ambassador for both Nike and Tiffany & Co.
