Like | @LivePerfAust | Follow | Forward VALE Dame Margaret Scott AC DBE LPA was very saddened to hear of the passing of Dame Margaret Scott AC DBE who died last week in Melbourne at the age of 96. Margaret or "Maggie" as she perferred to be called was a pioneer of Australian dance. She had been involved in most, if not all, of the major developments in dance education in Australia since the mid 1960s, including the establishment of the country’s dance organisation, Ausdance and The Australian Ballet Foundation. In 1964 she was appointed Founding Director of The Australian Ballet School and continued this role until 1990. During her time as Director she transformed the school from humble beginnings to an internationally recognised training institution discovering and nurturing elite performers. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Maggie moved to London initially accepted into the Sadler's Wells Ballet School but joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet shortly after. Dissatisfied with her prospects she resigned and successfully auditioned for Ballet Rambert. She arrived in Australia in 1947 as part of Ballet Rambert's overseas tour and chose to stay. Passionate about dance and education she was an advocate for Australian dance and taught many dancers and choreographers including Graeme Murphy AO and Meryl Tankard. Maggie changed the landscape of dance in Australia and was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1977 and made a Dame in 1981. Maggie received Live Performance Australia’s James Cassius Williamson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.

The Bell Lecture was initiated by the late Hcirry Stein to honour the contribution given to Australian jazz by our best loved and most appreciated jazzman, Graeme Bell, who celebrates his 95th birthday this year. Thanks must be given to Waverley Library and to the Friends of Waver­ ley Library, without whose support the Committee would not be able to present a prominent and experienced member of Australia's jazz commu­ nity and to bring to us their individual view of jazz. This year the Lecture is being given by Jeannie Lewis, a woman who has been actively singing since the 1950s. She began as a blues singer and has remained faithful to that genre whilst developing a career in musical theatre and featuring the songs of women in many facets and in one woman shows. She has remarkable vocal abilities and has travelled and studied song in many areas of the world. This experience will, 1 am sure, enable Jeannie to present a fascinating and unique lecture. Kate Dunbar Doubly Gifted Committee Jeannie Lewis Jeannie Lewis' work on stage, in the recording studio and as a writer and teacher transcends boundaries of genre and culture.

The thesis explores the relationship between the Australian folk revival and Australian Trade Unions. It provides a detailed study of events in the post war history of the union movement and the folk revival as evidence of a long relationship between them. Through a series of interviews with songwriters, and a discussion of folk revival magazines and folk song books, the thesis investigates the details of the connections between the two movements, and the social and political effects of these movements on changes that have occurred in Australia since the end of World War 2.
  • Australian Theatre Archive

    Australian Theatre Archive

    Australian Theatre Archive Barry Creyton b. 1939 Barry Creyton is an actor, writer, director and composer who has succeeded as a theatre maker on three continents. He was a much adored television personality early in his career in Australia, when he was catapulted to stardom as part of the satirical television phenomenon that was The Mavis Bramston Show . Soon afterwards he hosted his own variety show. He has written three highly successful stage plays and appeared on stage and television throughout his career. Creyton has distinguished himself playing and writing comic roles although he has also played dramatic roles, and in recent years he has focused on adapting and directing classic plays. Barry Creyton is a purist who prefers live performance to television, and cautions against a tendency in directors to ‘do a concept production rather than a production which reflects the value of the play’. He has constantly challenged himself throughout his career. As soon as he achieved national celebrity status in the 1960’s he decided to leave Australia in order to work where nobody knew him, and test himself in a new environment as a working actor. Creyton is based in Los Angeles where he lives in the Hollywood Hills. He ended up in tinsel town by accident in 1991, began working as a scriptwriter, and disliked the city at first dubbing it ‘Purgatory with Palm Trees’, but soon fell in love with its glamorous cinema history, the marvellous and vibrant small live theatres and the absorbing world of entertainment that is the life blood of the city.
