Timeline

1908

Dulcie Howes (1908-1993), a ballet dancer, choreographer and teacher, established the University of Cape Town Ballet School in 1934.

1932

Desmond Doyle (16 January 1932 – July 1991) was a South African ballet dancer who performed in England in the 1950s and 1960s before becoming ballet master of The Royal Ballet.

Desmond Doyle was born in Cape Town, South Africa.

1940

Among her most promising students during the 1940s were Johaar Mosaval and Doyle.

After some years' study with her, and performing under her direction in the University of Cape Town Ballet, both of them went to London to continue their training at the Sadler's Wells Ballet School.

1951

In 1951, Doyle was accepted into the Sadler's Wells Ballet, under the direction of Ninette de Valois, and was promoted to soloist in 1953.

1956

During his years with the company, renamed the Royal Ballet in 1956, he created roles in a number of new ballets by Frederick Ashton, Kenneth MacMillan, and John Cranko.

MacMillan often cast him in "cruel, overbearing roles because of his height and narrow face, as lethal as a knife blade."

He was not always villainous, however.

He danced many roles in classical and romantic works already in the active repertory, including Les Sylphides, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Coppélia, and Sylvia, and took prominent roles in such important ballets as de Valois's The Rake's Progress, Ashton's 'Symphonic Variations, and Alfred Rodrigues's The Miraculous Mandarin''.

1970

Upon his retirement, he served as the company's ballet master from 1970 to 1975.

Among the ballets in which Doyle created roles are the following.

Doyle married fellow dancer Brenda Taylor.

They had two children, Philip and Anthony, and five grandchildren who live in Brazil.

1991

He died in the seacoast municipality of Maricá, Brazil, in 1991, at the age of fifty-nine.

His reason for being in Maricá, a small city about forty miles north of Rio de Janeiro, is not known.

If he had traveled from Cape Town, directly across the South Atlantic from Brazil, he had possibly gone there in search of work.

He was ballet master at Teatro Municipal in Rio.
