Margaret Barr’s “Strange Children” , 1955 – photographer unknown

Image by State Library of New South Wales collection.
Margaret Barr (1904-1991) was born in Bombay, India. She went to school in California, USA, and in the 1920s studied dance with Martha Graham in New York and choreographed her first works. During the 1930s she taught at Darting-ton Hall in Devon, England, an experimental school run by Dorothy and Leonard Thirstily, and opened a studio in London. The productions of her own dance dramas often featured original music by composers such as Michael Tippett, Donald Pond and Edmund Rubber. With her husband Bruce Hart, a conscientious objector, she traveled to New Zealand at the outbreak of World War II, where she accepted the position of Director of Movement at the Auckland School of Drama. She moved to Australia ten years later, and for four decades made a unique contribution as a choreographer, director and teacher. She formed the Margaret Barr Dance Group in Sydney in 1952, was Director of Movement at the National Institute of Dramatic Art from its inception in 1958 to 1975, and conducted classes at her Leanna studio. Her choreography was motivated by strong social and poetical concerns, and her dance dramas ranged over diverse topics such as the work of Mahatma Gandhi and Margaret Mead, drought, and the Melbourne Cup. She died in Sydney on 29 May 1991.

Question by Karnataka: What the difference between Adult Ballet Class and Children class?

Are they the same? I am 13 and Singaporean and wish to take up Ballet lesson. However, my parents are against it. I wish to tell them more about Ballet and its wonderful things, but what Ballet is all about. What is so wonderful about Ballet.
I wish to start Ballet as soon as possible. But I don’t think they will let me join classes this year… Maybe next time, I guess…
So why do you love Ballet? Is it fun?
Well, how do I convince my parents. They think I am too old for Ballet. Tell me!
Actually, I don’t even dare to start this conversation as I have already have my piano lesson and Guzheng as CCA after I urged them for weeks and they thought I am too greedy and want to learn everything.
Well, I have two CCAs, Chinese Dance and Guzheng and there are practise a total of 7h 30min a week+my piano lesson, 30min a week. Do you think I can cope? I think I can but my parents think it is too busy… But I love Ballet! I keep thinking of it! How can I urge?

Answer by Becca Dance
The difference between a childern’s ballet class and an adult’s they teach the children terminology and in adult classes, they just assume you know it. You do seen really busy, but schedule dance around the other things you’re doing. I have been doing ballet FOREVER, and it’s totally worth it. No one is too old for ballet.
