Australian choreographer Gareth Belling trained with Sharyn Constable and Hilary Kaplan before joining Queensland Ballet’s Professional Year in 2000. He joined the Company in 2002 and has since danced in works by François Klaus, Natalie Weir, Nils Christe, Timothy Brown, Paul Boyd and Young Soon Hue.

Gareth made his choreographic debut with Collusion a Brisbane based music ensemble in Evocations 2005. He made his Queensland Ballet debut with Sheer Nylon Dances later that year. Since 2005 he has created more than ten short works for Queenland Ballet's Vis-a-vis and Soiree seasons, often alongside musicians from Collusion.

Gareth created his first ballet to a commissioned score in 2006: Return Economy Class was a collaboration with composer Joseph Twist and Collusion.

Gareth's most recent work with Collusion was the evening length Tales of the Faithful. Co-created with Elise May, this work explored the notion of community and the stories of two of Queensland's iconic churches, St Mary's, Kangaroo Point and St Luke's, Toowoomba.

In 2009 Gareth has premiered two pas de deux for Queensland Ballet's Soiree Classique season. Transference and Transparent are works which address shifts in human desire and the impact of personal relationships on the individual.

Gareth's most recent creation Refraction premiered in Queensland Ballet's ...with Attitude, as part of the 2009 Brisbane Festival.

"How the human form can depict musical notes purely by movement is magical indeed, with each dancer responding to every nuance of the music within this cleverly derived setting built on sound, light and motion. Dramatic punctuation by the physical form (are these dancers real or elastic??) is so highly tuned that a deaf person could literally 'hear' the music from ther moving portrayal, had the music abated."
