The Dance Makers on tour
With an incredibly successful Brisbane season of The Dance Makers now behind us (thank you to everyone who came along!), EDC has hit the road for a regional QLD tour of the triple bill. With performances and workshops stretching from Maryborough to Townsville, EDC have also been lucky enough to bring Tim Farrar (who can currently be seen in the cinema release of Mao’s Last Dancer) on board for this tour.

A Thousand Encores: The Ballets Russes in Australia
Premieres on ABC1 Tues November 3, 2009 @ 8.30pm
A Thousand Encores tells the surprising and little known story of how, over 70 years ago, an extraordinary company of dancers made a deep impact on Australia’s cultural heritage. In 1936, the celebrated Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo stepped off a boat into the bright Australian sunlight. With exotic sets and costumes designed by cutting edge-artists and avant-garde music by great composers like Stravinsky, the Ballets Russes inspired a nation and transformed our cultural landscape.
