  • Remembering Edouard Borovansky and His Company 1939–1959
    REMEMBERING EDOUARD BOROVANSKY AND HIS COMPANY 1939–1959 Marie Ada Couper Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne 1 ABSTRACT This project sets out to establish that Edouard Borovansky, an ex-Ballets Russes danseur/ teacher/choreographer/producer, was ‘the father of Australian ballet’. With the backing of J. C. Williamson’s Theatres Limited, he created and maintained a professional ballet company which performed in commercial theatre for almost twenty years. This was a business arrangement, and he received no revenue from either government or private sources. The longevity of the Borovansky Australian Ballet company, under the direction of one person, was a remarkable achievement that has never been officially recognised. The principal intention of this undertaking is to define Borovansky’s proper place in the theatrical history of Australia. Although technically not the first Australian professional ballet company, the Borovansky Australian Ballet outlasted all its rivals until its transformation into the Australian Ballet in the early 1960s, with Borovansky remaining the sole person in charge until his death in 1959. In Australian theatre the 1930s was dominated by variety shows and musical comedies, which had replaced the pantomimes of the 19th century although the annual Christmas pantomime remained on the calendar for many years. Cinemas (referred to as ‘picture theatres’) had all but replaced live theatre as mass entertainment. The extremely rare event of a ballet performance was considered an exotic art reserved for the upper classes. ‘Culture’ was a word dismissed by many Australians as undefinable and generally unattainable because of our colonial heritage, which had long been the focus of English attitudes.

  • Kirsova Ballet 1941-1944 2
    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID KIRSOVA BALLET IN AUSTRALIA 1941-1944 PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA JANUARY 2015 Helene Kirsova came to Australia in 1936 with the Monte Carlo Russian Ballet. Born Ellen Wittrup in Denmark, she had trained with Europe’s leading ballet teachers and had reached prima ballerina status dancing with major European companies and working with choreographers such as Leonide Massine and Michel Fokine. Kirsova received star billing for the 1936 Australian tour which was entrepreneured by Colonel W. de Basil. De Basil brought more companies to Australia in 1938 and 1940 which further opened up a world of exotic and dazzling ballet to Australian audiences. The advent of these ‘Ballets Russes’ companies also had a lasting legacy in the form of members of the companies who elected to stay in Australia. Two of the most prominent of these were Edouard Borovansky and Helene Kirsova both of whom formed companies of their own which had lasting influences on the development of ballet in Australia. Kirsova initially returned to England with the Monte Carlo Russian ballet in 1937 but returned early in 1938 when she married the Danish Vice Consul in Sydney, Erik Fischer. She soon established a ballet school developing local Australian dancers as well as engaging other dancers from the de Basil companies who remained in Australia. She formed her own company in 1941. Based in Sydney, the company also successfully toured Australia in spite of the difficulties of movement around the country in wartime, as well as the constant threat of male dancers being enlisted into wartime duty.

  • MEDIA RELEASE 20Th July 2020 – for Immediate Release
    MEDIA RELEASE 20th July 2020 – for Immediate Release Navigating Cancer in the COVID Crisis and Beyond Cancer waits for noone. Each day in Australia 396 people a day are diagnosed with cancer, that’s 145,000 Aussies per year who deal with a diagnosis, which is more than most daily COVID totals, and 50, 000 will die. It certainly doesn’t go into isolation because of COVID. Recently many people have had their diagnosis delayed due to COVID (Medical Republic, 12th May 2020, Francine Crimmins), because many have been reluctant to see their doctors or have tests done. Alarmingly, Cancer Council Victoria have reported a 37% drop in breast cancer diagnoses and the University of Melbourne, Cancer Research Centre says the costs to the Australian healthcare system will be large. Cancer continues, and this means that thousands of Australians will continue to be diagnosed (hopefully) and treated amongst the virus crisis, creating further stress on individuals and the healthcare sector, but delays in cancer diagnosis may be far worse. Health Equals Freedom is a new, unique National service for those newly diagnosed with cancer, anywhere in Australia, and is provided by secure Telehealth video and audio, it opened its doors just before the pandemic. Dr Rachel Cameron, is the owner and founder of Health Equals Freedom, which she designed to meet an unmet need, due to her personal experience, interest and professional training, this service supports people in navigating their cancer diagnosis and treatment. Dr Rachel Cameron has also written a new book to support this service, which maps out the most important information that someone needs when first diagnosed, the book can be used to prepare for meetings with doctors and to take notes in.

  • Ballet Rambert Tour of Australia-New Zealand 1947-1949
    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID BALLET RAMBERT TOUR OF AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND 1947-1949 PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA JANUARY 2015 Ballet Rambert (BR) is today the oldest existing dance company in England. It was founded in 1930 by Marie Rambert (MR), whose balletic lineage can be traced back to Isadora Duncan, E. Jacques-Dalcroze, S. Diaghilev, V. Nijinsky, Cecchetti and S. Astafieva. It was from these sources that she created an English ballet company with an understated style. This young, small company of thirty dancers under the personal direction of Marie Rambert arrived in Australia in October 1947 under the entrepreneur D.D. O’Connor in association with the British Council as the first major overseas company to visit Australia after World War II. The Australian public, who had been exposed in the pre-war period to a virtuosic and exuberant Russian style on a large scale, began to appreciate the smaller works presented with such realism. BR introduced a different concept of ballet to Australians -- as art and not spectacle. Their impact was immediate and significant. Many Australians joined the company on tour, such as Cecil Bates, Ruth Boker, Charles Boyd (a former BR member), Rachel Cameron, June Florenz, Joan and Monica Halliday, Kathleen Lamb, Marita Lowden, Moira Peoples, Ann Somers (or Kathleen Gorham), Basil Truro (or Vassilie Trunoff ) including David Hunt who returned to Australia with BR and they in turn influenced future generations of dancers. Some of the Ballet Rambert dancers remained in Australia and contributed to the development of dance, these being Joyce Graeme, Brenda Hamlyn, Rex Reid and Margaret Scott.
