Tim Storrier is a name familiar to visual arts circles in Australia – a multi-award winner with a commercially successful international career – he was even awarded an AM (Order of Australia) for his services to art in 1994.  

He is, however, less well-known within the spectre of theatre. This week, Artistic Director of Queensland Ballet Academy, Li Cunxin AO, announced Storrier’s artworks would be used in the forthcoming Summer Soirée.
