She also held the post of Artistic Director from 1990 until the present.
Ms Paeper leaves a legacy of over forty full-length and one-act ballets, which make up the bulk of the Cape Town City Ballet’s repertoire. She has received numerous requests to mount her works for other ballet companies locally and abroad, and is currently in the United Kingdom producing her ballet, Camille, for the Northern Ballet Theatre. She will continue to be involved in the training of the CTCB, and will be invited to reproduce many of the CTCB's well-loved ballet's in the future. |
