Across the decades women have been the heroines of many of the best known ballets in the international repertoire. Dance historian Michelle Potter will look at some famous female heroines and those who have brought those characters to the stage.

She was inaugural Curator of Dance at the National Library of Australia, 2002-2006, and Curator of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, 2006-2008.
