Camberwell District Ballet and The Russian Choreographic Academy are excited to announce that a very generous Grant has been donated to further the training of a gifted student to study overseas.
This has been made by the family of Rubena Carter Furlong in memory of Rubena on the 10th anniversary of her passing. Rubena graduated from the Australian Ballet School and danced professionally with Ballet Victoria and a number of European ballet companies. She also created one of the leading roles in Garth Welch’s ballet Othello, which he first choreographed for the ABS in 1968.
Thank you so much to her family for providing such a generous grant of up $10,000 to enable a young and gifted dancer the exceptional opportunity to study with one of the world’s top schools for a period of time."
