Celebrating Li Cunxin AO

In 2013, Li Cunxin arrived at Queensland Ballet studios in Brisbane filled with dreams, drive and an ambition to make an extraordinary impact.

Devoted to artistic excellence, his international reputation alongside a remarkable skill set and intense passion for the artform has elevated Queensland Ballet to new heights and firmly placed the Company on the world stage.

Whilst the transformational impact Li has created is significant today, it will be extraordinary over time.

Watch this video to see Li's legacy and footage from our recent Love & Legacy, Celebrating Li Cunxin AO gala, celebrating Li's tenure as Queensland Ballet's visionary Artistic Director 2013 – 2023.


We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
