petebowes Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I’m researching the Australian tours of Ballet Russes and Ballet Romberg in the thirties and forties, hoping to find someone whose knowledge goes that far back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stucha Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Valerie Lawson is the person to seek out. See her website. http://dancelines.com.au/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diandri Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Valerie Lawson appears to have an interesting book due out 29 Feb called Dancing Under the Southern Skies: a History of Ballet in Australia that might be worth a look. If you check amazon it's already on pre-order. The front cover seems to be a stunning photo of Leanne Benjamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophoife Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 There is a wealth of information regarding the Ballets Russes tours of Australia on the Australian Ballet's website, as they did a multi-year project. Then there is the documentary with both archival footage and present-day (2005, when the film was made) interviews, called Ballets Russes. Available on iTunes and Google Play. Also try the following links: A Thousand Encores: the Ballets Russes in Australia (Australian Ballet documentary) National Library of Australia A paper on the Ballets Russes in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
