Penny TangeyWA Ballet is sponsored by Woodside, a company that is expanding fossil fuels to worsen the climate crisis.
Here's a petition gracefully asking WA Ballet to reconsider this "partnership".
As they say, there's no standing on your tippytoes while dressed like a swan on a dead planet.
Tell WA Ballet to barre Woodside's sponsorship
There’s nothing graceful about Woodside’s plan to expand the oil and gas industry, but the Western Australian Ballet is dancing with them into the climate crisis. Community partnerships and sponsorships like this have long been a tactic used by gas and coal companies to improve their public image and build social licence. The arts, dance, culture all make a thriving society and show us new ways to see the world, but right now WA Ballet partners with Woodside, one of Australia’s dirtiest fossil fuel companies. Sign this petition calling on the WA Ballet Board to cut ties with Woodside and dance into a better future for all.
