Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 1087 - 24/10/2024

BULAWAYO BALLETOMANES

The first fully qualified dancing teacher in Rhodesia was probably Miss Molly Stuart, Molly held dancing displays at the Empire and Princess Theatres with music supplied by Dan Bothma and Harry Gerber of Gerber's Music Store ! In 1930 Molly married Tom Forbes who had a jewellery store in Bulawayo, Dancing was in the family because the glorious Dawn Nimr Forbes still lives in Bulawayo today ! Betty went on to teach at Mercia Hetheringtons school of ballet.

Betty Bryers school in Salisbury produced the legendary Merle Park, possibly our most famous ballerina. Merle became a Soloist with the Royal Ballet Company in England.

Other well known very early dancing names were Bubbles Howorth, Isobel Cipacci and Hazel Brown.

In the early thirties, Puck Eland, and Mr Jimmy Gilchrist, together with Margaret and Josephine Issels, opened a school in St Georges Building, Main Street, Bulawayo. (Who could forget Jimmy Gilchrist's eyebrows )

Many years later names like Margie Knoeson taught at St Georges building, as did Margaret Dolphin who later married Turk Mine farmer Dave Joubert. Balletomanes will be thrilled to know that Midge Dolphin-Joubert is teaching again in Pietermaritburg !!

Elaine Archibald was another well known name, Elaine was responsible for producing incredible dancers like Gary Burne, Keith Maidwell, Olga Twell, (daughter of the amazing Vida Twell) as well as Desmond Kelly, Ken Yeatman,, Judy Hardy and Dudley Van Loggerenburg.

More recently we remember Phyllis Spira, Jean Allenby, Petrus Bosman Eduard Greyling and Nicolette Loxton who danced at Cape Town, and Graham Rees who is now himself a ballet teacher in Bulawayo. Graham was a product of the well known Macdonald Academy, where Norma Masterson was the principal.

Still living in Bulawayo of course, is the lovely Michelle Masterson (Macmillan). Michelle is now the CEO of Matabele Steam Laundry and how well I remember her brilliant choreography involving, of all things, sheets, at the centenary festival for the steam laundry.

Dorothy Ainscough was yet another famous dancing teacher in Bulawayo as were Miss Dawn Summerton and Miss Dawn Nimr.

A name few people will forget in ballet circles is Rosemary Williams who trained at the Royal ballet in London. Many dancers went from Bulawayo to train in the UK. - Linda Brittain at Royal Academy, Debbie Woods (better known as DebbieYork) also trained at Royal Academy.

Judy Hardy is a name we all remember, married to Alan Hardy who wrote that wonderful book on the History of the Theatre, Ballet and Orchestra in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe 1890 to 1980. Thank you Allan for some of these names which I had forgotten.

From yet another talented dancer Veronica Brown (Now Hopkins) came this little missal -

"Yes I did dance with the MacDonald Academy of Dancing from late l949 to the early sixties, doing ballet, Scottish and tap dancing, as did my sister Florence - our maiden name was Brown. Heather and Norma MacDonald's first studio was at the Masonic Hall - where Doves Funeral Parlor is today. Another two dancers that come to mind are Beryl and Dawn Nimr, who danced at Macdlonald's - Dawn I think married Stuart Forbes of Forbes Jewelers, a very upmarket jewelry shop in Bulawayo, situated in Jason Moyo Street(Abercorn in those days) opposite Zimbank.

Priscilla Stobbs, who I believe still lives in Bulawayo also danced and later taught at the MacDonald Academy. We participated in all the shows, combined studio shows, pantomimes and Eisteddfods. Another dancer I remember that danced with Dorothy Ainscough was Peggy Gower, she pursued her studies outside the Country and then taught in Bulawayo for a while in the sixties.

Judy Bower: danced during the 50's at the MacDonald Academy of Dancing, founded by Norma and Heather Macdonald, , a beautiful dancer and she did go on to join the Rambert School of Ballet,in London. I recall her being engaged to NORMAN FROST who danced with Gwen Mcoll at the Bulawayo School of Dancing and who also went to London, and danced for a while with the Royal Ballet.

Jean Theobald danced with the Dorothy Ainscough School of Dancing - she was such a talented dancer not only in classical ballet but also amazing at tap and character dancing- she went on, if my memory serves me correctly to finally join the Stuttgart Ballet Company in Germany, where she danced for many years. She did marry a BSAP policeman.

Judy Fischer also danced with the Dorothy Ainscough School of Dancing - I did not know her that well, but she was a beautiful classical ballet dancer and she also danced with the Stuttgart Ballet Company and I think became one of their Principal Ballerinas. She had a sister called Wendy Fisher who also danced and she taught ballet in Bulawayo during the 70's and early 80's.

Those years were very happy years in Bulawayo's little world of ballet and there was a lot of healthy competition always culminating in a bi-annual Eistedford which usually lasted a week and the adjudicator normally came from CAPAB in South Africa.

We not only had famous ballerinas, Lynette Lewis went to the Bulawayo Ballet Company and later became a Lido Dancer in Las vegas. Colleen Forsyth from Bulawayo became a star of the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

Acrobatic dancers have played a large part in Bulawayo's dancing life, Desray Ludick has led her talented troup of lithe, lissom ladies for many years, entertaining enthusiastic audiences with their amazing skills. Ballet is still one of the most popular cultural activities in the city and Curtain Call is a show that the Bulawayo public never misses every year at the Bulawayo theatre.

Please forgive me if I have not mentioned everyone, if I have missed anyone out, I would be grateful if you too could supply some names and details of our famous Rhodesian / Zimbabwean dancers. e mail magskriel@mac.com

But one think we all know is that, for a tiny country, we certainly had many, many more than our fair share of famous ballerinas and dancers !!

Editorial on Ancient Memories revisited

I remember all that. Also sitting for ages with arms held out wise holding skeins of wool for my sister to wind into balls. Walking behind the coal truck picking up lumps for winter heating. My sisters were very pretty so the coal man would let extra lumps fall off.

4) Notices and Events

ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSICTel: 2260684 / 2267195 E-mail: music@gatorzw.co.uk

THURSDAY/FRIDAY 23/24 OCTOBER
The ZANU PF conference takes place at the Trade Fair grounds from 22 to 27 October 2024. There will be several thousand delegates and the President will be in attendance so access to the Academy will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. It has therefore been decided that there will be no teaching, DVDs or other events during that week and that the Academy offices will be closed.
Make-up lessons will be arranged so that the full quota will be taught before the end of the school term on 5 December.

THURSDAY 31 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE WALK
As a boy, Philippe Petit dreams of performing daring feats for dazzled crowds. As an adult (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), his life's ambition comes true when he becomes a high-wire artist who stares death in the face with every step. Under the guidance of mentor Papa Rudy, the French daredevil devises a plan to walk on a tightrope attached to the north and south towers of the World Trade Center. With help from his team and against all odds, Petit attempts the seemingly impossible stunt.
- A razzle-dazzle thriller with eye-popping visuals, white-knuckle tension and just the right note of melancholy. [Newsday]
- Heartfelt and extremely entertaining. [The Guardian]
- The end result is totally convincing and thrillingly real, with the walk itself providing the most exciting yet exhausting cinema experience you'll have all year. [The Mail on Sunday]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 1 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER
The Pharaoh's Daughter enjoys a special place in ballet history. Premiered in 1862, it was a grand spectacle featuring a cast of 400 and was Petipa's first truly successful ballet, securing his future in St Petersburg, where he went on to become the most influential choreographer of the 19th century. Ballet scenarios don't come much sillier than this: it turns on the story of British Egyptologist Lord Wilson who, after a reckless hit of opium, dreams himself back to the time of the pharaohs. Wilson falls in love with Aspicia, the ballet's titular heroine, and when she throws herself into the Nile to avoid being married off to the King of Nubia,
Wilson is left to face death by snakebite. Tragedy is averted by the Nile's underwater king who restores Aspicia to Wilson's arms.
- With its exotic setting, spectacular dancing and scenes choreographed for nearly the entire Bolshoi troupe, this stunning Egyptian fresco is one of the most remarkable productions in the company's repertoire. [Picture House]
- The corps de ballet is exceptional, the great dance steps simultaneously tuned to near perfection. Standard Bolshoi quality. [Amazon]
- Lacotte has created a glittering bauble of a ballet.. Partnered by Sergei Filin, Svetlana Zakharova has rarely looked more assured, disciplining her long limbs into sharp etched rhythms and mellifluous phrases, and delivering them all to her audience with the creamiest of smiles. [The Guardian]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members]

The showing of MILITARY WIVES scheduled for Saturday 2 November has been cancelled.

THURSDAY 7 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE LADY IN THE VAN
The first in a series of films as a tribute to Dame Maggie Smith who died at the end of September, The Lady in the Van. it tells the (mostly) true story of playwright Alan Bennet's interactions with Mary Shepherd, an elderly woman who lived in a dilapidated van on his driveway in north London, and features Dame Maggie in one of her most iconic roles. 'For the late, great Maggie Smith, The Lady in the Van was arguably the best of some twenty years of cameos and curtain calls..she makes a complex figure of Mary Shepherd, who parked her van in Alan Bennett's driveway and remained there for 15 years.' (Eddie Harrison, Film Authority)
- Led by a marvellous performance from Maggie Smith, Lady in the Van wrings poignant, often hilarious insight from its fact-based source material. [Rotten Tomatoes]
- The Lady in the Van is a showcase for (Maggie) Smith, who provides another amazing performance in her long and storied career. [Journal and Courier]
- It's laugh-out-loud funny at times yet simultaneously layered and thought-provoking. [Dog and Wolf]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 8 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. FRENCH MUSIC FOR GABRIEL FAURE Carriages: 8.40 p.m.
Gabriel Faure died 100 years ago on 4 November 1924 and the programme includes his well-known Requiem as well as several shorter works together with piano concertos by his teacher, Saint-Saens, and student, Ravel! The programme includes, the Pavane, Elegie for cello, Psalm 136, Cantique de Jean Racine and Requiem by Faure as well as Saint-Saens' Piano Concerto No.2 and Ravel's Piano Concerto in G majo.r
- This is an appealing concert that cleverly mixes the familiar with the unfamiliar and includes a well-known piece in an unfamiliar guise. [Gramophone
- This programme has fine performances and conducting of glorious music. [HDVD Arts]
- This performance put a huge smile on my face: Arthur Rubinstein, 88 years old and nearly blind, with Andre Previn and the LSO. What a pianist, what an orchestra! [Piano World]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members

THEREAFTER
Thursday 14 November at 6.30 p.m. Foxcatcher [released 14 November 2014]
Friday 15 November at 5.00 p.m. Student Concert
Friday 15 November at 7.00 p.m. Anton Bruckner: The Making of a Giant [Bruckner was born on 4 September 1824]
Thursday 21 November at 6.30 p.m. Mansfield Park [released 19 November 1999]
