Juliet Burnett

Indonesian-Australian Juliet Widyasari Burnett was born on Gadigal land (Sydney). She is one of Australia’s most recognised dancers after her years at The Australian Ballet, where the roles of Giselle, Odette in Graeme Murphy’s Swan Lake and abstract classical works by the likes of George Balanchine, Glen Tetley and Stephen Baynes became her signature, as well as her versatility in the contemporary repertory of choreographers such as Wayne McGregor, Stephen Page and Jiri Kylian. After 13 years there she left to pursue a freelance career, working with contemporary choreographers such as Melanie Lane and guesting with Chunky Move, Dutch National Ballet and West Australian Ballet.

In 2016 she moved to Europe to take up a role as dancer with Opera Ballet Vlaanderen in Belgium, where she danced the repertory of Pina Bausch, Alain Platel, William Forsythe, Akram Khan (in the title role of his contemporary production of Giselle) and Trisha Brown amongst others, and had creations made on her by Édouard Lock and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. In 2022 she returned to Australia as a freelance artist, and is based on Kombumerri-Yugambeh country (Gold Coast).
