The year commenced with the welcome announcement of funding from the Australia Council for the Arts to provide operational support. This centred on enabling the next stage of the organisation's transition, including the recruitment of an Executive Director, to effectively lead and support Ausdance National in achieving it's goals. Some of the key activities and achievements for Ausdance National in 2018 include: Advocacy • Ausdance National undertook a range of advocacy activities including submissions and the provision of letters of support, with many of the submissions undertaken alongside a range of arts organisations and advocacy bodies. • Ausdance National worked with AMPAG to explore shared priorities across a range of peak bodies and organisations within the performing arts sector, with a focus on progressing a number of significant and important issues including the sector's response to providing safe workplaces free from harassment. • Ausdance National continued as a member of the Australian Alliance for Wellness in Entertainment (AAWE) and supported a research project to find out about the mental health needs of our industry. • Julie Dyson, Ausdance National’s representative for a range of peak arts bodies, has continued to lead important advocacy activities for NAAE and World Dance Alliance and alongside Sue Fox and Jeff Meiners wonderful contributions as specific Ausdance National (Dance) NAAE representatives. Australian Dance Awards • The 2018 Australian Dance Awards, produced and presented by Ausdance National within an exceptionally short time frame, were a wonderful success. A hearty congratulations once again to all the 2018 award winners—it was fantastic to see the sector come together to recognise and celebrate so many important people and organisations that make up our vibrant Australian dance industry. Supporters, Sponsors & Colleagues • On behalf of Ausdance National, I would like to warmly acknowledge and thank the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts for their financial support and partnership. This has been critical in enabling a refocused Ausdance National to function effectively, alongside their support for projects and important advocacy work. • To Aon Australia, who continues as a long-term partner in delivering sector specific insurance products to our members. • Thank you to sponsors Harlequin Floors, Media Entertainment Arts Alliance (MEAA), Aon Australia, Foxtel Arts, Dance Australia Magazine, QUT Creative Industries and Designfront for their sponsorship and significant contributions in supporting the 2018 Australian Dance Awards. • A huge thank you to Kris Stewart and the Brisbane Powerhouse for supporting the presentation of the 2018 Australian Dance Awards in their fabulous venue. • Thank you to the incredible Sandi Woo and Tiffany Lane for producing the 21st Australian Dance Awards in a very short time frame and without the support of a presenting partner. p.5 Ausdance National Annual Report 2018 • A personal thank you to the broader Ausdance Network including State office executive directors, staff, and board members. Their patience and collegiality in supporting Ausdance National during its ongoing transition process was greatly appreciated. • To long-term Ausdance National staff member Rachel Jennings who finished with the organisation in 2018 after 15 years, we are exceptionally appreciative of the support, knowledge and the clear legacy that you have left. Thank you. • Thank you also to our amazing volunteers Julie Dyson and Sandra Macarthur-Onslow for their ongoing hard work and commitment. • To all of our members and generous supporters who provided everything from donations, letters of support and words of encouragement that reinforced why Ausdance National was such an important organisation for the dance sector. • To previous Executive Director Kerry Comerford—thank you for your hard work in supporting the organisation during your time with us and in particular, ensuring the success of the 2018 Australian Dance Awards. • To current Executive Director Kathy Baykitch—thank you for your dedication, commitment and passion that you so clearly hold for Ausdance and the dance sector in general, and for stepping in to ensure that Ausdance National could continue to work towards its vision. • Finally, my heartfelt thanks to all my fellow Ausdance National Council board members (old and new in 2018) for their generosity of time, passion, commitment, persistence, expertise and collegiality in helping to guide and actively lead Ausdance National through the ongoing transition and unexpected responsibilities of 2018. All of which is done on top of their day jobs and other commitments! 2018 was another busy year for Ausdance National including being agile and adaptable to changing and challenging circumstances! We are grateful for the opportunity and responsibility of continuing to represent and support our stakeholders, in order to continue a long-term commitment to the wonderful dance sector here in Australia.

  • Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: the Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin
    Andrée Grau: Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Andrée Grau Roehampton University, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I address a number of topics relevant to anthropology generally and to the anthropology of dance specifically. I consider issues of classification and taxonomies; of interculturalism and transnationalism; of representation, exoticisation and internalised racism. I examine dance, hierarchies and discrimination, and discuss boundaries between dance and non-dance. For example, dance scholars, with a few exceptions, rarely write about figure skating, although it is cognate to Western theatre dance genres, especially ballet. Figure skating is sport, even in its ice dancing incarnation, whilst dance is art even in its ballet competition incarnations. I use as a case study the Russian skaters Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, who choreographed an ‘Australian Aboriginal Dance’ for their original routine for the 2010 European skating championships and Olympics. This offended Aboriginal elders who made a complaint to the Russian ambassador. I examine the controversy around the routine, how it was reported in the press and how the audience responded in Internet forums, focusing especially on the way Australian Aborigines con- tinue to be portrayed as stone age in popular media. KEY WORDS: aesthetics, Australian Aborigines, ballet, Internet forums, dance, ice ska- ting, taxonomies Introduction One of the premises of the anthropology of dance, is that the term ‘dance’ is problematic as it carries preconceptions of what this activity engages with, which is rooted into a Western way of understanding the body in space and time, situating it in a particular relationship to a soundscape.

Photography Branco Gaica Luke Ingham and Miwako Kubota. Photography Branco Gaica 4 COPPÉLIA NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dame Peggy van Praagh’s fingerprints are on everything we do at The Australian Ballet. How lucky we are to have been founded by such a visionary woman, and to live with the bounty of her legacy every day. Nowhere is this legacy more evident than in her glorious production of Coppélia, which she created for the company in 1979 with two other magnificent artists: director George Ogilvie and designer Kristian Fredrikson. It was her parting gift to the company and it remains a jewel in the crown of our classical repertoire. Dame Peggy was a renowned Swanilda, and this was her second production of Coppélia. Her first was for the Borovansky Ballet in 1960; it was performed as part of The Australian Ballet’s first season in 1962, and was revived in subsequent years. When Dame Peggy returned to The Australian Ballet from retirement in 1978 she began to prepare this new production, which was to be her last. It is a timeless classic, and I am sure it will be performed well into the company’s future. Dame Peggy and Kristian are no longer with us, but in 2016 we had the great pleasure of welcoming George Ogilvie back to the company to oversee the staging of this production. George and Dame Peggy delved into the original Hoffmann story, layering this production with such depth of character and theatricality.
