Produktbeschreibung

Louise Lightfoot, architect turned dancer, choreographer and ballet producer, pioneered ballet in Australia in the 1930s. After visiting British-Raj India, Lightfoot became a passionate promoter of Indian dance and culture, helping introduce classical Indian dance, especially Kathakali of Kerala, to the Western world. She led a romantic, independent and international life. Told by her niece, this story is part inter-generational memoir, part biography, part dance history.

Autorenporträt

Louise Lightfoot was my Aunt. My book incorporates her original writing, especially covering the period from 1937 to 1947 in India, set in the context of her life and times.
Across several genres, my book has a unique angleit is also, in part, my story of finding her story.
Like my Aunt, I lived and worked many years in India, though in completely different fields to dancing, and I unwittingly followed in her footsteps decades later.
I now live in coastal south-east New South Wales, Australia.
