Title:
Dancer Dawn Swane on touring Europe with London Festival Ballet
Australian dancer and make up artist Dawn Swane talks about her years touring with the London Festival Ballet in the 1950s. In this clip she recalls how she acquired her camera in Denmark, which she'd later use to document the tour, as well as her work at Granada TV (Manchester) in the 1960s. The clip features an excerpt from the NFSA Oral History interview, recorded in 2006. Dawn was interviewed by Chris Rowell. Dawn's collection of home movies and video recordings have been donated to the NFSA by her daughter, production designer Melinda Doring.
