Timeline

1950

Graeme Lloyd Murphy AO (born 2 November 1950) is an Australian dancer and choreographer.

1968

In 1968 he became a dancer with The Australian Ballet where he had opportunities to choreograph.

1970

He toured America with the Australian Ballet in 1970–1971 and created his first ballet, Ecco le Diavole (Ecco).

In the interview, Murphy discusses the highlights of various aspects of his career as a dancer and choreographer: his teenage training at The Australian Ballet School and early work as a classical dancer with the Australian Ballet; his developing interest in choreography and contemporary dance in the early 1970s; the beginnings of his lifelong creative partnership with Janet Vernon; the formation of the Sydney Dance Company and his appointment as artistic director in 1976; his signature productions involving theatrical spectacle, powerful storytelling, collaboration with Australian composers, and innovative set and costume designs; his constant touring overseas and work with Australian ballet; the financial disasters which prompted him to leave the Sydney Dance Company after 31 years; his work and aspirations.

1971

Ecco was presented at Melbourne's Princess Theatre in July 1971.

The piece was set to music by Nino Rota and featured dancers Roslyn Anderson, Roma Egan, Janet Vernon, and Wendy Walker.

Later, Murphy danced with the Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet (now Birmingham Royal Ballet), and Les Ballets Félix Blaska in France.
