Costume designby Leonard French for the Vizier, Nutcracker, Ballet Guild, 1953. The Arts Centre, Performing Arts Collection
As discussed at our last meeting DEECD have requested some 'hot content' for the ministerial launch of FUSE in January so Julian and I have been working on a short documentary piece inspired by our recent Ballets Russes exhibition. The exhibition is currently on tour in Shepparton and will be off to Hamilton in March so we thought that it was a good opportunity to provide regional teachers with some content they could use either in isolation or in conjunction with a visit to the exhibition.
The doco will run for about 8 minutes and includes excepts of curators Steve Tonkin and Margot Anderson giving floortalks in Gallery 1 interspersed with still images of the designs, photographs and artworks featured in the exhibition. The second part of the doco features the teachers and students from Bendigo Secondary College who attended a special costume design workshop following their visit to the exhibition. I've seen the rough cut and Julian has done a great job. Once it's finished I'll make sure to post it so you can all see it.
Next week we plan to start mapping out the 'event' module we are creating for Skyhooks - should be fun!
