From student to director, Lisa Pavane’s storied 46-year journey with the Australian Ballet School is drawing to a close.
Lisa Pavane arrived at the Australian Ballet School as a starry-eyed teenager. Forty-six years later, she’s leaving after nine years as its director.
“It’s a very vigorous vocation, so having that education around how you look after your body and how you learn about it and how you fuel it, prepare it, condition it, is leaps and bounds from when I went to the school.” Pavane says that a nurturing learning environment leads to far better outcomes than a whip-cracking, disciplinarian approach.Lisa Pavane is proud of the way the school has become more receptive to outside influences during her time at the helm.“We know through positive education and psychology that when they’re happy, they’re thriving, they’re flourishing, they’re feeling comfortable in the space, then their brain is open and they’re much more open to learning.
In the nine years she has been the school’s director, Pavane hasn’t been the sort who leads from afar.
