Laurel Martyn
Laurel Martyn (born Laurel Gill, 23 July 1916 – 16 October 2013) was an Australian ballerina.〔(Obituary ), theaustralian.com.au; accessed 26 December 2013.〕
In 1933, she left Australia for England and studied with Phyllis Bedells. In 1934 she won a choreographic scholarship from the Association of Operatic Dancing (later the Royal Academy of Dance) for ''Exile'', her first composition. In 1935 she became the second Australian to win the Adeline Genée Gold Medal. Martyn joined the Vic-Wells Ballet (later Sadler's Wells) in December 1935, the first Australian woman to be accepted into the company. By 1938, she was a soloist. That same year, she returned to Australia and became a dance teacher. She joined Edouard Borovansky's eponymous ballet corps in 1940 and remained until her marriage to Lloyd Lawton in 1945.
==Works==
After leaving the Borovansky Ballet in 1945, Martyn began creating her own dance works. These included ''The Sentimental Bloke Who Couldn't Be a Man'' in 1952 and ''Mathinna'' in 1954. These works were inspired by Australian themes. ''The Sentimental Bloke'' used Australian literature for inspiration and ''Mathinna'', concerning an Aboriginal girl adopted into white society, explored the political, social and racial implications of relationships between Aborigines and colonial settlers.〔(Laurel Martyn (1916-2013) profile )〕
