Alfred Rodrigues
Alfred Rodrigues (18 August 1922 – 12 January 2002) was a South African ballet dancer and choreographer. His works have been produced by ballet and opera companies in many countries of the world.〔Marina Grut, "Rodrigues, Alfred," in ''The History of Ballet in South Africa'' (Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 1981), pp. 405-406.〕
==Early life and training==
Born in Cape Town, a cosmopolitan city near the southern tip of South Africa, Alfred Rodrigues made his first appearance on stage as a child. In 1936, when he was 14, he saw a performance by Colonel de Basil's Ballet Russe when the company toured South Africa, and his interest in ballet was kindled. He joined the Cape Town Ballet Club in 1937 after he saw an advertisement placed in a newspaper by Dulcie Howes, asking for male dancers. Subsequently, as a student in the ballet classes of the celebrated teacher Cecily Robinson, he failed to show any particular talent as a dancer, but in workshops he did demonstrate a certain flair for choreography. He made his first ballet in 1938, a short piece for students in the Ballet Club set to a piano transcription of "Danse Macabre," a tone poem (op. 40) by Camille Saint-Saëns with spooky melodies, driving rhythms, and dramatic structure. Encouraged by Howes, he soon made two other works for the club, ''Le Roi s'Amuse'' (1940) and ''L'Île des Sirènes'' (1941).〔Richard Glasstone, ''Dulcie Howes: Pioneer of Ballet in South Africa'' (Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 1996), p. 64.〕
