Thomas Dixon Centre

Situated at 406 Montague Road in the vibrant, cultural hub of West End, Brisbane, the Thomas Dixon Centre is a world-class performing arts facility and the proud home of the Queensland Ballet. Originally built as a shoe factory in 1908, this heritage-listed building has been meticulously transformed into a state-of-the-art creative sanctuary that seamlessly blends historical brickwork with contemporary architectural design. The venue features an expansive, sunlit entry atrium, public art installations, advanced training studios, and community spaces, making it a premier destination for artistic expression, high-profile events, and cultural gatherings. The multi-functional Studios at the centre offer four distinct, world-class creative spaces—the Harry Haythorne Studio, Harold Collins Studio, Francois Klaus Studio, and the Community Studio—ranging in size from 142 to 208 square meters. Designed to inspire artistic excellence, these premium rooms feature professional infrastructure including permanently installed Harlequin Studio vinyl dance surfaces laid over Harlequin Liberty sprung floors, full-length mirrored walls with custom coverage curtains, and upright or Yamaha grand pianos. Mechanically and technically advanced, each room is equipped with a comprehensive mobile sound rack that incorporates a TV, Blu-ray player, CD player, and multiple speakers with auxiliary inputs. Whether configured for high-end dance rehearsals, filming and photography sessions, corporate team-building events, or community art exhibitions, these versatile light-filled environments adapt effortlessly to both creative workshops and private celebrations.
