Australian Ephemera Collection Finding Aid AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID SIR ROBERT HELPMANN (1909-1986) PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA MARCH 2020 This finding aid lists programs and ephemera which document all aspects of Sir Robert Helpmann’s extensive career as dancer, choreographer, director, and actor in Australia and overseas. Robert Helpmann’s extensive career started with ballet, acting from 1930, and he then emerged as a company choreographer in 1942. He also directed and produced, and worked in opera, film, and musical theatre. Helpmann’s career in Australia with the Australian Ballet, other Australian companies, and in the Old Vic. Co. tour of Australia in 1955 are not included: Material relating to these productions are located under the respective names of the companies he worked with. (For instance, programs relating to Helpmann’s Australian and New Zealand tours of Nude with violin are located within the separate J.C. Williamson General files of the PROMPT Collection.) The Australian Ballet performances that are mentioned here are all duplicates of the same programs found in the Australian Ballet PROMPT collection, which features more of his work with them. CONTENT Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs, and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance by Helpmann. In a few cases however, the only evidence for a Helpmann performance is a piece of printed ephemera other than a full program. In these cases the details are in italics. Examples of this occur during part of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet seasons at Covent Garden in 1948 and 1949 in which fold-out brochures give basic daily listings for several weeks of the repertoire to be performed and some of the artists appearing. Details of Helpmann’s scheduled appearances have been extracted from these lists, but there is no guarantee that he actually appeared in the performance. In the case of triple bills there is no indication of the role/s he was to have danced. If, at a later stage, a program is acquired for any of those performances it is then taken as the prime document and supersedes the brochure listing as evidence of Helpmann’s actual appearance. The Helpmann files in the PROMPT collection also include miscellaneous ephemera items. The list is based on imperfect holdings, and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection. ACCESS The Robert Helpmann PROMPT files may be accessed through the Library’s Special Collections Reading Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2640459. ARRANGEMENT The list is in four sequences which reflect the arrangement of the Library’s Robert Helpmann PROMPT collection: Theatre [i.e.: Helpmann as actor and director working in drama, comedy, opera, revue] Overseas Ballet Australian Ballet Then individually listed, chronologically by performance as follows: Date (day and month); City Name of production or performer Headline performers etc. This document is keyword searchable. The arrangement within each sequence is chronological by year and then by month, week or day with all dates based on evidence in the programs or ephemera. The listing also notes the number of copies held, autographs, photos, biographies given in the program and significant partners in dance such as Dame Margot Fonteyn. OTHER RESOURCES A collection of personal scrapbooks belonging to Sir Robert Helpmann are held in the Library’s Manuscript Section (MS 7161). The finding aid to the manuscript collection is available from www.nla.gov.au/ms/findaids/7161.html. The Library also holds a number of pictures and photographs of Helpmann which may be accessed through the Pictorial Reading Room. Books about Helpmann, the ballet companies he performed with, the films he acted in, etc., as well as serials and newspapers containing reviews and articles are accessible through the Library’s catalogue. Robert Helpmann (1909-1968) 2 Biographical cuttings on Robert Helpmann are available through the Newspapers and Microforms Reading Room. These and other resources are included in the Library’s publication A full house : the ESSO guide to the Performing Arts Collections of the National Library of Australia / by Michelle Potter.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

Photography Lynette Wills 4 THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET 2019 SEASON NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Giselle has a special place in The Australian Ballet’s history, and has been a constant in our repertoire since the company’s earliest years. The superstars Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev danced it with us in 1964, in a production based on the Borovansky Ballet’s. Our founding artistic director, Peggy van Praagh, created her production in 1965; it premiered in Birmingham on the company’s first international tour, and won a Grand Prix for the best production staged in Paris that year. It went on to become one of the most frequently performed ballets in our repertoire. Peggy’s production came to a tragic end when the scenery was consumed by fire on our 1985 regional tour. The artistic director at the time, Maina Gielgud, created her own production a year later.

    QUESTIONS OF PRACTICE Commence to Dancing By David Vaughan Introduced by Alastair Macaulay THE PEW CENTER FOR ARTS & HERITAGE / PCAH.US / @PEWCENTER_ARTS Commence to Dancing The Senior CriTics AwArd, delivered By David VaughAn at The DanCe CriTics AssoCiation at DanCe new AmsterdAm, new york CiTy, on 17 June 2007 Introduction by Alastair Macaulay This is the Dance Critics’ Association; and I hope that many of you here first got to know David the way I did—by reading him in print. In 1965, he was a founding figure at Ballet Review and, alone of that magazine’s founders, he still contributes regularly to it. In fact, its “Annals of The Sleeping Beauty” department would scarcely exist without him. For many years, he was the Financial Times’s distinguished New York dance correspondent. His book Merce Cunningham: Fifty Years (Aperture, 2005) is indispensable to anyone writing on the subject, and I say that as someone who has sometimes groaned at its sheer weight across my knees. I myself came to know him through his book Frederick Ashton and His Ballets (A & C Black, 1977)—“the Ashton book,” as it was known for many years. For me, this came at an opportune moment: I was twenty-two, and the two Royal Ballet companies staged an unusually large number of Ashton ballets in the year it was published. I had read the book from cover to cover the moment it came out; then I read it again from cover to cover; and then, every time I went to see any Ashton performance, I would read the relevant section both before setting out and then on returning home.

  • White Lodge Museum : Newsletter
    Newsletter | Autumn 2013 Issue 10 Dame Monica Mason with a painting of Leslie Hurry’s set design for Helpmann’s Hamlet, which she has kindly donated to White Lodge Museum Panel discussion L - R: Professor Richard Cave, choreographer Andrew McNicol and Dr Víctor Durà-Vilà On 27 October White Lodge Museum hosted a full day symposium The Many Faces of Robert Helpmann. Foundations of the event lay in a reconstruction of Helpmann’s 1944 ballet Miracle in the Gorbals. David Drew, former Principal with The Royal Ballet, began a project with White Lodge Museum in 2011 to reconstruct the ‘lost’ ballet. Several members of the original cast were involved including Gillian Lynne, Pauline Clayden, Julia Farron, Jean Bedells and Henry Danton. Following a very successful workshop at White Lodge with a cast of 40 dancers, the decision was taken to hold a symposium to explore the significance of Helpmann in British ballet, theatre and film. A Royal Ballet School student performs in Andrew Film footage of the Miracle in the Gorbals workshop McNicol’s new choreography based on Adam Zero. formed the basis of a paper by Michael Byrne as part of his PhD at the University of Cambridge. He is investigating the regenerative processes of reviving ballets with scores by the composer Arthur Bliss. In addition to Miracle in the Gorbals Bliss wrote the music for Helpmann’s ballet Adam Zero (1946). Dr Víctor Durà-Vilà, Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London, considered why Helpmann and Bliss made such an effective creative partnership. Along with diverse papers, panels and film screenings there was performance by Royal Ballet School students in new choreography by Andrew McNicol based on Adam Zero.
