Join us for an evening of wine and canapés as we welcome Li Cunxin AO - the man whose memoir Mao's Last Dancer captured hearts around the world.
In this intimate conversation, Li will share the deeply personal, long-awaited next chapter of his story: the pull between two worlds, the family he built with Mary, the reinventions that shaped him, and the life lessons on love, leadership and gratitude that anchor his new book, The Lucky Son.
It's a rare chance to be with a cultural icon, to hear the wisdom behind a life lived with courage and purpose and to gather as a ballet community for a morning of beauty, connection and inspiration.
Book now. Places are limited - this will be a truly special event.
Copies of The Lucky Son will be available to purchase at the event and Li will be available to sign them.
