13. The Ballet is coming to Town!

Direct from the best stages of St Petersburg, New York, London,
Berlin, Milan and Moscow
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AUSTRALIA: Eifman Ballet
From Russia, one of the world’s finest contemporary ballet companies
will present a visual feast of passion, entertainment and drama
Capitol Theatre Sydney from 15 August
Regent Theatre, Melbourne from 29 August
Eifman Ballet, who tour the world constantly to packed houses and have
critics around the world reaching for superlatives, will make its
Australian debut in August with two of its most acclaimed
productions – Anna Karenina and Tchaikovsky - for a strictly limited
season in both Sydney and Melbourne.
At the helm of the Eifman phenomena is Russian choreographer Boris
Eifman, a master of psychological ballet, a choreographer-philosopher
concerned with the problems of the modern world.
Boris Eifman is considered the face of modern Russian ballet. The
esteemed New York critic Anna Kisselgoff wrote of Eifman - “The ballet
world in search of a major choreographer need
search no more. He is Boris Eifman.” Boris Eifman’s 50 strong company
will thrill Australian audiences with his powerful and emotional
interpretations of these classic pieces. His dancers are classically
trained, world class, statuesque and powerful, the likes of which have
never been seen before in this country. Eifman’s repertoire has helped
create a special type of artist, combining dance, acting, brilliant
technique, and a gift for transformation.
Eifman Ballet followers are extremely wide ranging, not only dance
devotees but those keen to explore Eifman's fascination with exploring
secrets of life. The exquisite complexity of Eifman Ballet, and the
power, energy and excitement of its dancers, will touch even the most
seasoned ballet lovers.
Anna Karenina, plunges audiences into the grand world of 19th century
aristocratic Russia. We meet Anna, her dour husband, Karenin, and her
lover, Vronsky. Swept on the tide of her passion for Vronsky, Anna is
prepared to sacrifice everything: husband, son and social standing for
her shallow and narcissistic lover. Anna Karenina is a ballet in 2
acts with choreography by Boris Eifman and music by Tchaikovsky.
Tchaikovsky, set to music from some of Tchaikovsky’s most revered
works are scenes that are alternately poignant and disturbing: a flock
of white swans appears promising serenity and happiness, but there is
also an ominous and menacing flock of black birds before, finally, we
see the Prince from Sleeping Beauty, the ideal of Tchaikovsky’s
longing, and forever unattainable.
Pyotr Tchaikovsky composed divine music but in the background there
was a distressed, unhappy man plagued by inner torment.
Tchaikovsky is a ballet in two acts with choreography by Boris Eifman
and music by Tchaikovsky.
In Born in Siberia in 1946, at an early age Eifman knew that he would
be a choreographer. He graduated as a dancer from St Petersburg’s
Vaganova Ballet Academy but continued his studies in choreography at
the Leningrad Conservatory.
Even as a young man, his work attracted attention and in 1977, he
formed his own company, Leningrad New Ballet (now Eifman Ballet).
There, despite Soviet-era disapproval, he began developing his ground-
breaking work. Many of the themes he explored – from religion to sex,
mental illness or homosexuality – were either sensitive or forbidden.
It was not until Glasnost came to Russia that Eifman became a feted
artist, and was supported to build his company and travel abroad. His
50 dancers come with a strong classical training which Eifman then
moulds to express his style which – while precise and highly
disciplined – is also expressive and deeply emotional. Australian
audiences will have the chance to experience Russia’s most exciting
contemporary ballet company when it makes its long-awaited Australian
debut.

14. Zulya Gigs.

Internationally acclaimed, ARIA-winning Zulya and The Children of the
Underground perform an unusual suite of original repertoire that,
though difficult to describe, weaves a delightful and intriguing
insight into her influences and experiences. It includes songs
inspired by Zulya’s Russian and Tatar heritage but goes further to
touch material which embraces jazz, circus, Mexican music, folk,
European cabaret of the 1920's and even Soviet pop.
One thing can be said for sure - it’s musically invigorating and
beautiful.
The all-star line-up of accomplished musicians includes Anthony Schulz
(accordion), Eamon McNelis (trumpet), Lucas Michailidis (guitar),
Andrew Tanner (double bass), and Justin Marshall (drums). Together
they strike as a dedicated collective, and of course there is the
unmistakable voice of Zulya, once described as “ever-evolving lustrous
thing of wonder - a throne from which to rule”.
This is a rare evening of enchanting music so be sure to secure your
tickets early.
Saturday, 5th May features work from "The Waltz of Emptiness" and
Sunday, 6th May will feature "Tales of Subliming".
Start time: 8.30pm each night.

19. Русские специалисты приглашаются для участия в международном
опросе

Исследователи из Лондонской Школы Экономики проводят проект по
международной миграции и приглашают русских специалистов, которые
переехали в Австралию после 1989 года, принять участие в онлайн-опросе
зайдя на эту ссылку: https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/lsewebsite/bric_migrants
Информация о проекте представлена здесь:
http://www2.lse.ac.uk/economicHistory/Research/CCPN/Research/BRIC_project/QuestionnaireSurvey/Q_home.aspx
Учитывая значимость России на международной арене, миграционные
процессы, связанные с Россией, вероятнее всего окажут значительное
влияние на социально-экономическое развитие как в принимающей так и
отправляющей стране, поэтому Ваше участие внесет полезный вклад в
более глубокое понимание этих процессов.
Большое спасибо!
*****
Russian professionals needed for an international survey
Researchers at the London School of Economics are conducting a project
about international migration and are looking for Russian
professionals who moved to the UK, USA, Australia or Japan after 1989
to take part in their online survey. It is very simple - please follow
the link here: https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/lsewebsite/bric_migrants
Information about the project is available here:
http://www2.lse.ac.uk/economicHistory/Research/CCPN/Research/BRIC_project/QuestionnaireSurvey/Q_home.aspx
Given the significance of Russia in the international arena, migration
processes associated with Russia are likely to have a significant
impact on the socioeconomic development both in the receiving and
sending countries, and your input would therefore make a valuable
contribution to better understanding of these processes.
Many thanks!
