Principal Artist of The Australian Ballet, Joseph Caley
Born in Hull, UK, Joseph commenced ballet at a young age, training with the Skelton Hooper School of Dance. In 1997 he joined Royal Ballet Lower School, quickly progressing to Royal Ballet Upper School. An exuberant artist with striking lines and boundless energy, Joseph joined Birmingham Royal Ballet in 2005, and he was promoted to Principal in 2011. His position in this prestigious rank saw him dance lead roles in ballets including Giselle, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and Cinderella. Joseph joined the English National Ballet in 2017 and was promoted to Lead Principal later that same year. The Australian Ballet were delighted to officially welcome Joseph to the company as Principal artist in 2022.
Former Principal Artist of the Birmingham Royal, Jenna Roberts
Jenna Roberts was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, and trained at the Marie Walton-Mahon Dance Academy in Newcastle, Australia, and the Royal Ballet Upper School. Joining Birmingham Royal Ballet in 2003, she quickly rose through the company. In 2006 she starred as Juliet in the 'Ballet Hoo!' project, a collaboration between BRB, Channel 4, the charity Youth at Risk and local authorities. She suffered a setback after a severe injury in 2007, returning to achieve a promotion to company principal at the end of the 2011–12 season. Roberts has been acclaimed as a masterful Balanchine interpreter, credited for combining ethereal elegance with outstanding stamina to craft leading roles. After her younger sister, Callie Roberts joined the company, the two siblings performed together in works including Cinderella. Roberts has recently created roles in a number of short ballets, working with the contemporary American choreographer Jessica Lang in Lyric Pieces, and dancing as the Fairy in Michael Corder's Le Baiser de la fée. In 2014 The Observer reported that an 'incandescent Jenna Roberts steals the show' in Alexander Whitley's new ballet Kin. Having retired from dancing, she now teaches Pilates, and she and her husband Joseph Caley relocated to Australia in 2022, where Caley has become a principal artist with The Australian Ballet.
