Heavy Metal Meets Ballet In Australia

Suzanna Clarke of News.com.au reports: Heavy metal music and classical ballet may seem like an unlikely pairing. But according to choreographer Bridie Mayfield, they are a perfect match.

"I've been a heavy metal fan for a long time. I've always danced to metal," she says.

This week Mayfield's new Brisbane, Australia-based company, Brutal Ballet, performs Dethballet at Twelfth Night Theatre, which combines the two.
