  • Shifting Away from the Public to Miscellaneous:The Case of Korean
    Japan Border Review, No.Summary 8 (2018) Summary Shifting away from the Public to Miscellaneous: The Case of Korean Schools in Tokyo CHOI Safa There used to be 15 public Korean schools in Tokyo, Japan until March 1955. These schools were closed and restarted as miscellaneous schools from April 1955. Miscellaneous is a legal status of schools in Japan besides public and private. Due to this legal status Korean schools have been facing difficulties such as not receiving financial support from the Japanese government. The aim of this paper is to analyze how public Korean schools in Tokyo closed in March 1955 and turned into miscellaneous schools in April 1955. This research was conducted through historical review of documents from the official record, diaries, and newspapers. On 8th September 1951, the Treaty of San Francisco was concluded. Article 2-a of this treaty prescribed the change of territory between Japan and Korea, but there was no legal decision about the nationality of Korean residents in Japan. The Japanese government’s interpretation of Article 2-a was that Korean residents in Japan should not be allowed to keep their Japanese nationality. As a consequence the Japanese government declared an official notification changing the status of Korean residents from Japanese nationals to “Alien” in April 1952. The Ministry of Education intended to close public Korean schools and to end compulsory education for Korean residents in Japan. Moreover, in the mid-1950s, communist ideas were spreading among some Japanese schools and Korean schools in Tokyo. This led the Ministry of Education to make a law towards teachers to stop them teaching communist ideas, while at the same time, the Board of Education in Tokyo imposed six specific rules towards Korean schools in the Tokyo area to force these schools to comply with Japanese law.

  • John Neumeier
    JOHN NEUMEIER John Neumeier was born in 1942 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where he also received his first dance training. He went on to study ballet both in Copenhagen and at the Royal Ballet School in London. He acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Theater Studies from Marquette University, Wisconsin, where he created his first choreographic works. In 1963 John Cranko engaged him at the Stuttgart Ballet, where he progressed to solo dancer. In 1969 Ulrich Erfurth appointed Neumeier as Director of Ballet in Frankfurt. Since 1973 John Neumeier has been Artistic Director and Chief Choreographer of THE HAMBURG BALLET, since 1996 Ballettintendant (General Director). THE HAMBURG BALLET has become one of the leading ballet companies in the German dance scene and soon received international recognition. As a choreographer, Neumeier has continually focused on the preservation of ballet tradition, while giving his works a modern dramatic framework. His commitment to this end has manifested itself particularly in his revised versions of the classical “story ballets”. For his revolutionary choreographies on symphonies by Gustav Mahler he has received particular acclaim throughout the world. His latest creations for THE HAMBURG BALLET, Le Pavillon d’Armide and Orpheus, premiered in 2009, and Purgatorio, premiered in 2011. In 1975, Neumeier created the Hamburger Ballett-Tage, the Hamburg Ballet Festival, a climax and end to each season. In 1978 he founded The School of THE HAMBURG BALLET. In 1989 the school, together with the company, moved into its own Ballettzentrum (ballet center) provided by the city of Hamburg. Its facilities include nine studios and a boarding school for over thirty students.

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.
