Meryl Tankard
“Meryl Tankard takes her place amongst those international choreographers who are giving new life to dance.” Frankfurter Allegemeine
“Meryl Tankard… astonishing, superb, disconcerting.” Le Figaro Magazine
Internationally acclaimed for the emotional punch packed into her inventive choreography, Meryl Tankard is one of Australia’s finest contemporary artists. She continues to work around the world, with recent projects ranging from a sell-out Sydney Festival collaboration titled KAIDAN with Taiko drummers, to the new Broadway musical Tarzan.
Having leapt to fame in Europe with Pina Bausch, Meryl Tankard returned to Australia to create a dance aesthetic all her own. In her years with Australian Dance Theatre she created a dynamic, versatile company and her long list of acclaimed new work was immediately in demand throughout Europe and North America. Her large scale commissions, such as the Opening Ceremony for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, bear testimony to her imaginative range. Today, Meryl Tankard is recognised as an important artist whose work is imbued with imposing theatrical eloquence.
