Saturday 8 November 2025

Friends and family gathered at Mirramu to celebrate the 50th birthday of Vivienne Rogis, Mirramu Dance Company co-founder and current co-director at Mirramu Creative Arts Centre.

Food and conversation were shared. A beautiful cake from Sweet Bones was cut. Music and lights by Andreas Dalman with Sigo Tseng delighted the party goers (especially the mirror ball!). And as darkness fell on the lake, dancing ensued.

We all wish Viv a very happy birthday and many more years of creative delight.

After a whirlwind rehearsal period with Mirramu Dance Company and visiting Taiwanese dancers, ECDysis is now over.

Our thanks to the Canberra Theatre Centre for their generous support and to the ACT Government for a small short response grant, which helped with costs for our theatre lighting technician, program printing, transport to the theatre in production week and artist living costs at Mirramu and in town.

The production was a significant work, celebrating 6 decades of Elizabeth’s dance practice, her evolution as a dancer and choreographer, and her connections with other dance professionals world-wide.

Elizabeth’s most recent performances with Teac Damsa were part of the Perth Arts Festival. The now usual full houses and standing ovations were testament to the power and emotional impact of this innovative contemporary dance theatre work. It received critical acclaim.

For Elizabeth working with this company has been inspiring and fulfilling on so many different levels. The performances are always fresh for the artists; each night is like an opening night and at the same time the work deepens for every performer. It has been a highly significant part of Elizabeth’s career and development as an artist.

This speaks of the importance of taking up every opportunity offered to us at all stages in our lives and is a reminder to never stop learning.

More performances of Loch Na hEala, are scheduled for later in 2019.

In the final years of his life, Jan Dalman carefully selected what he felt were the most potent, evocative and expressive photographs he’d taken of Marceau from the wings during performances in Australia. His great wish was to have a book published to honour his friend Marcel, who had passed away before him in 2007.

out of silence – Marcel Marceau by Jan Dalman is the realisation of this dream.
