Interested parties may contact the editors. Silvia Micheli, University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia’s New World City: The Making of Public and Institutional Spaces in South Bank from Expo ’88 to the G20 In 1988 Brisbane hosted the Expo as part of its Australian Bicentenary celebrations. Organised at South Bank, it was an international event that proved a turning point in the city’s development. Positioned on the Brisbane River, in front of the CBD and next to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the area became an urban experiment, testing how Brisbane would respond to a central area dedicated to recreation and mass consumption. South Bank Parklands has grown in concert with the adjacent institutional precinct of South Brisbane dominated by the Queensland Cultural Centre, to an extent that today the two areas are recognised under the unifying name of South Bank. Its complexity is generated by the alternation of institutional buildings, leisure structures and public spaces aligned along the river with excellent infrastructure connections.

Mary McKendry had an idyllic childhood: a rambunctious family full of love and support, in a large Queensland country town, Rockhampton. Here she discovered the joy and beauty of ballet, an art in which she very quickly found herself at home. Mary’s dedication and persistence in excelling shone, opening a world of possibility. At the age of just 16, she flew halfway around the world to start a life in London, studying at the Royal Ballet School. Mary’s talent saw her join the London Festival Ballet, where she danced with the likes of Rudolf Nureyev, and then moved on to Houston Ballet, dancing under acclaimed director Ben Stevenson. Here she met Chinese dancer Li Cunxin: their chemistry ignited the stage, and off stage the two fell in love, becoming darlings of the ballet world. When their first daughter, Sophie, was born, their lives were complete.

  • Miss Chinatown USA Pays Us a Visit Houston Stars in Mao's Last Dancer
    F ASHION LIFESTYLE ART ENTERTAINMENT SEPTEMBER 2010 FREE Miss Chinatown USA Pays Us a Visit Houston Stars in Mao’s Last Dancer Bistro Lancaster Remains a Landmark Old World vs. New World Wine yellowmags.com FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF August was a month filled with beauty. I chatted with the reigning Miss Chinatown USA, Miss Crystal Lee, while she was in town to attend the Miss Chinatown Houston pageant. This year marked the 40th anniversary of the pageant and a majority of the past beauty queens appeared on stage to mark the momentous occasion. The newly crowned Houston queen, Miss Joy Le, will represent Houston in the national competition in San Francisco next February. Congratulations! New York City has been getting a lot of press recently in connection with the proposed mosque near Ground Zero. Last year, the city was the center of attention because of the country’s economic woes and the big bonuses that gushed from the big Wall Street firms. We decided to focus on New York, too, but our sights were on the sites to see. There are many that have gone ignored by the mainstream media but which are a lot more interesting and fun (and certainly, much less controversial). It was a big month for the Houston art community, especially for those who love ballet. Li Cunxin was in town to promote the opening of Mao’s Last Dancer, the exquisite new movie based on his best selling autobiography that chronicled his life from provincial China to the stages of Houston’s Wortham Center and Jones Hall.

The first is the valorization of physical labor as a path to positive social reform and personal enlightenment. The second is a dialectical approach to epistemology, in which world-knowing is connected to world-making. In both cases, dancers in China found themselves, their bodies, and their work at the center of conflicting ideals, often in which the state upheld, through its policies and standards, what seemed to be conflicting points of view and directions of action. Since they occupy the unusual position of being cultural workers who labor with their bodies, dancers were successively the heroes and the victims in an ever unresolved national debate over the value of mental versus physical labor.
