Graeme Murphy, born in Melbourne on Nov. 2, 1950, is a leading choreographer. At age 15 he became the youngest male pupil in Melbourne's Australian Ballet School. He was later selected for the Australian Ballet in 1968 and furthered his dance studies in the USA. He was appointed in 1976 as Choreographer and Artistic Director of the Sydney Dance Company where he has created many innovative works and won international praise.
