MACARONI
In the late 18th century, to call someone a “Macaroni” was to connect them to an effeminate character, ripe for ridicule. The patriotic anthem,’Yankee Doodle Dandy’, was first devised as an insulting ditty, with its queer-phobic origins satirising the gender bending styles of flamboyant society. In this new work, BalletX shines a light on a little known part of queer history, combining layers of camp humour with poignant storytelling and reclaimed pride.
With a thrillingly eclectic score by @nzcomposer and fabulous modern macaroni designs by @emmakingsbury and lighting by Michael Korsch, my heart is full.

This June/July I have been in the studio creating a new production of The Firebird for the Royal New Zealand Ballet. I can’t tell you how proud I am of everyone involved! @nzballet
It is a great and rare privilege to be working with Stravinsky’s iconically narrative masterpiece full of lush, devastating and triumphant melodies. The chance to re-imagine the world of The Firebird with acclaimed designer Tracy Grant Lord has been a true gift.
Mythos and ecology collide on stage to create an uncomfortable future world, plagued by chaos and starved of love and nourishment. Only the wondrous Firebird/Mother Nature has the ability to reverse the destructiveness of human action and bring balance once more.
This project is very close to my heart and I can’t wait to share more of the exciting world we are building with you soon.
The production will premiere at the end of this month in Wellington, on the 29th of July, and tour to six cities across Aotearoa New Zealand, until the 2nd of September.

Love Wins! 🤩🌈❤️
Last night was incredible; after two years of creative planning, stress, joy and love we celebrated the premiere of our new production `Break Your Glass Slippers - a Cinderella Story.’ @nzballet
@nzcomposer @emmakingsbury I love you ❤️ Thank you to the army of amazing people who helped to put this mammoth show together!
Our story follows both Cinderella and Prince Charming as they navigate separate struggles but share a common bond. In a world where fancy titles count for everything, peacocking reigns and ‘more is always more’, Cinderella and Prince Charming feel smothered and silenced, struggling to be heard in a story they don’t fit. Only by following their hearts and gathering all their courage are they able to break free and find true love, as their authentic selves.
Cinderella yearns to escape her dysfunctional family and become her own woman, while the Prince struggles with his identity within royal marital expectations.
In the end, Cinderella finds true love with the charming (small ‘c’) Royal Messenger, and as young ‘head over heels' romantics, we see their relationship blossom naturally as the ballet unfolds. Prince Charming meanwhile finds his soul mate in Prince Dashing, the ‘Prince from the Kingdom Next Door’, and comes out to his mother the Queen. In fairy tales as in real life, there can be many kinds of magic. The delight of putting a fairy tale onstage is that anything can happen.’
The @rymanhealthcarenz Season of Cinderella will be dancing across Aotearoa from 3 August - 3 September 2022 with @nzballet @nzcomposer @emmakingsbury

What better way to celebrate World Ballet Day than Dublin’s opening night of Cinderella, a new production I’ve been creating for Ballet Ireland!
In this poignant new adaptation, Cinderella becomes Ellie—a young Irish immigrant forging a new life against the backdrop of 1950s New York. From dreams and resilience to love and transformation, Cinderella celebrates the heart and hope that dance brings to us all.
So much love and gratitude to the incredible dancers, creative team, crew, and everyone who’s poured their magic into this production. Here’s to storytelling through movement — and to the power of ballet to inspire, connect, and transport.

Choreographer Loughlan Prior (@prior_visual) has a penchant for reimagining fairy tales. In his queered “Cinderella” (2022) for @nzballet, Prince Charming gets the guy. Now, three years later, Prior is tackling the story again, for @balletireland. Opening in Belfast November 7–8, Prior’s new “Cinderella” will run through December as the company tours to 13 cities throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Prior opted to set this version in 1950s New York City for a more modern feel, with the protagonist, Ellie, as a young Irish immigrant. Learn more about the ballet’s creation at the link in our bio. 💞

(1) In a ballet studio, dancers hold a large white piece of fabric that billows behind a solo dancer in front. She extends her leg front in a battement, arching up with her back, arms in a high “V.” Text: Loughlan Prior’s Cinderella, for Ballet Ireland, Is a Magical Immigration Tale
(2) A dancer in a long Romantic tutu skirt poses in fourth position on pointe, arching up and back with her arms in high fifth.
(3) Three dancers rehearse a rambunctious pas de deux, with one dancer wrapped around the other’s back while the third pulls on the second dancer’s arm.

Choreographer Loughlan Prior (@prior_visual) has a penchant for reimagining fairy tales. In his queered “Cinderella” (2022) for @nzballet, Prince Charming gets the guy. Now, three years later, Prior is tackling the story again, for @balletireland. Opening in Belfast November 7–8, Prior’s new “Cinderella” will run through December as the company tours to 13 cities throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Prior opted to set this version in 1950s New York City for a more modern feel, with the protagonist, Ellie, as a young Irish immigrant. Learn more about the ballet’s creation at the link in our bio. 💞
