Callum Linnane: From Ballarat to The Australian Ballet, how self-discipline shot a humble dancer to the top

Episode 3: Callum Linnane Callum Linnane’s love affair with dance began at the age of seven at his primary school in Ballarat. And his determination, perfectionist tendencies and unbreakable work ethic underpinned his rise through the ranks of The Australian Ballet to be named Principal Artist in 2022 – a role he relished from a young age. Despite this incredible achievement, Callum is a humble human, described in Harper’s Bazaar as “the boy-next-door with a tinge of rock star he doesn’t know he possesses. His presence walks into a room before his body does.” Callum may have climbed this mountain, but he isn’t done yet, and his biggest wish is to build a better world where people are free to try new things and not ridiculed for their choices.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Callum Linnane:   To learn more about Callum: Callum on Instagram Callum on Facebook Callum Linnane Principal Artist, The Australian Ballet   Links from this episode: The Australian Ballet The Australian Ballet on Instagram The Australian Ballet on Facebook The Australian Ballet Wikipedia   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
