New scholarship program connects pink diamonds and ballet

Rio Tinto’s Argyle Pink Diamonds brand has partnered with the West Australian Ballet to grant scholarships to emerging dancers.

Rio Tinto will launch the Rare Gem collaboration with the Australian Ballet Company to support students in its Young Artists program. A 12-month scholarship will afford students stage experience and mentorship, preparing them for a professional career.

Rio Tinto’s chief executive of minerals, Sinead Kaufman, said the company was proud to support emerging performers.

“Beauty and perfection drive both our Argyle Pink Diamonds business and West Australian Ballet,” Kaufman said.

“Rare pink diamonds, forged under extreme conditions from the depths of the earth, mirror the discipline and dedication that results in the breathtaking beauty of ballet.”

The Argyle Pink Diamonds’ Rare Gem for 2025 is Samantha Green, a Western Australian Academy of Performance and Art graduate. Throughout the year, Green will perform in every mainstage season, on regional tours, and at special events. 

Executive director of West Australian Ballet, Lauren Major, highlighted the parallels between developing young performers and discovering and transforming rare diamonds.
