After a year of controversy Queensland Ballet has welcomed its new artistic director Ivan Gil-Ortega.

Joshua Lowndes passed all his milestones as a baby. He walked and crawled and by the age of two could count and knew all the colours of the rainbow. But his life changed dramatically when he started having complex partial seizures. The uncontrollable fits led to an endless cocktail of drugs, stints in the ICU and eventually brain surgery. His mother, Monique Lowndes, said from then on her only son had an acquired brain injury and became non-verbal.
