Danced to Ravel's <em>Piano Concerto in G Major</em> it had designs by Alan Oldfield and was lit by Christopher Maver. The opening night cast was David Palmer as Beyond Twelve, David Burch as Beyond Eighteen, Kelvin Coe as Beyond Twenty-Five and Sheree da Costa as First Love.</p><p>In his program notes for that first season Murphy wrote: 'The storyline for <em>Beyond Twelve</em> is my own, though much inspiration comes from the artistry of Kelvin Coe, the exuberance of the unique David Burch and the freshness and energy of David Palmer. Sheree da Costa, with whom I have often worked, continues to delight this choreographer with her talent and understanding of my style'. The work was Murphy's look at the life and loves of a young boy growing up and maturing as a dancer. In 2002 it was the inspiration for the Australian Ballet's fortieth anniversary program <em>Beyond 40</em>.</p> <p> <strong>See also: </strong> <a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/subjects/3.html">Australian Ballet, The</a> ; <a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/subjects/21.html">Coe, Kelvin</a> ; <a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/subjects/47.html">Murphy, Graeme</a> <br><br> <a class="second" href="#top"><img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/top-arrow.gif" border="0" alt="Return to top of page"></img></a> </p> <hr size="1"> <a name="materials"></a> <h3>Research Materials </h3> <p align="left"> <a class="second" href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/apps/ad?action=ViewSubject&id=1141&resourceType=Ephemera#materials">Ephemera</a> | <a class="second" href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/apps/ad?action=ViewSubject&id=1141&resourceType=Oral history#materials">Oral history</a> | <a class="second" href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/apps/ad?action=ViewSubject&id=1141&resourceType=Picture#materials">Picture</a> | <a class="second" href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/apps/ad?action=ViewSubject&id=1141&resourceType=All#materials">All</a> </p> <hr size="1"> <h3 class="clear"><a name="other"></a>Other resources</h3> <p>Find more about Beyond Twelve in:</p> <ul> <li> Internet - <a class="second" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080722071150/http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=dance+Beyond+Twelve&btnG=Google+Search" target="_blank">Google</a> </li> <li> Articles - <a class="second" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080722071150/http://catnyp.nypl.org/search/?searchtype=X&SORT=R&searchscope=4&searcharg=Beyond+Twelve" target="_blank">New York Public Library Dance Collection</a> </li> <li> Pictures - <a class="second" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080722071150/http://www.pictureaustralia.org/apps/pictureaustralia?action=PASearch&mode=search&attribute1=title,creator,subject,date+or+place&term1=Beyond+Twelve" target="_blank">Picture Australia</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p> </div> <p class="phpfooter"><a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/about.html" class="header">About</a> | <a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/contact.html" class="header">Contact us</a> | <a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/help/" class="header">Help</a></p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="footer"><img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/spacer.gif" alt=" " width="10" height="55" class="logo"> <img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/dot-gold.gif" alt=" " width="12" height="12"><a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/" class="yellow">Home</a> <img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/dot-gold.gif" alt=" " width="12" height="12"><a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/people.html" class="yellow">People</a> <img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/dot-gold.gif" alt=" " width="12" height="12"><a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/companies.html" class="yellow">Companies</a> <img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/dot-gold.gif" alt=" " width="12" height="12"><a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/performances.html" class="yellow">Performances</a> <img src="/web/20080722071150im_/http://australiadancing.org/images/dot-gold.gif" alt=" " width="12" height="12"><a href="/web/20080722071150/http://australiadancing.org/apps/ad?action=PublicSearch" class="yellow">Search</a> </td> </tr> </table>  <script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080722071150js_/http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-807909-3"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
