Adelene Stanley, the only Singaporean dancer in Inala – A Zulu Ballet, talks about her role in the international production, before its Southeast Asian debut this month
Fresh out of the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London, Adelene Stanley, at age 18, became the youngest dancer—and the only Singaporean—to be part of the original cast of Inala—A Zulu Ballet, which premiered at the 2014 Edinburgh International Festival.
The brainchild of London-based theatrical producers Sisters Grimm and award‑winning choreographer Mark Baldwin, the production combines South African culture and music with classical ballet and contemporary dance, and features the South African Soweto Gospel Choir, performing alongside current and former dancers from The Royal Ballet and Rambert.
