West Australian Ballet has postponed the search for a permanent artistic director while it completes a strategic review, with David McAllister to fill in for another year.
Three weeks after WA Ballet announced the surprise departure of its popular artistic director, the company's chair has revealed its board made the call to not renew his contract.

Our weekly appointments wrap includes Lauren Major, Sean-Paul Stephens, Michael Lundberg, Ashwin Nair, Tom Chaney, David Cresp, Addy Wetzler, Alex Maund, Esme Bowen and Liz Dallimore.
West Australian Ballet head of development Lauren Major will step up as the next executive director to co-lead the company with artistic director Aurélien Scannella.
