| Biography/History |
Dancer, choreographer and writer. Beth Dean, born 1918, Denver Colorado. Married Australian singer Victor Carell in 1944. Dean and Carrell came to Australia in 1947 when they both appeared in the musical Annie get your gun. In 1953 Dean and Carell undertook a study trip to a number of Australian Aboriginal communities where they observed Indigenous dance and ceremonial activities. Later they drew on material from this trip in a performance and lecture series on the dances of 'the Pacific, the Aborigines, and the Maoris'. The study trip also provided source material for Dean's choreography for Corroboree and other dance performances. Dean's career also encompassed writing and criticism. She was dance critic for The Sydney Morning Herald for a number of years and was also the Australian correspondent for the American publication Dance magazine. Her publications have included works of biography as well as works on dance. |
