Q1) Peter Pan is a much-beloved childrens story. But, it usually does give an adult pause when they come to read it to there own children. A parent is often thinking of either the stage productions they might have seen or the Disney animated film. The novel, than, can come as a tremendous shock, especially in it's treatment of women. Especially for feminists. It could be argued that Barrie's book was simply a reflection of English society and values at the turn of the 20th century others might see a more disturbing reflection of soceital norms or a reflection of Barrie's own love/hate relationship with his mother/woman. Certainly the text celebrated mothers and motherhood. Only Mrs. Darling remembered anything about Peter Pan what she does remember is quite disturbing, she seems to be able to understand childhood and children. Whereas Mr. Darling is only a large child, an overgrown lost boy- like Hook, looking for a mother to look after them. What prompts Peter to take Wendy; and only incidentaly her brothers to Neverland is Wendys' ability to sew his shadow back on: and her bed-time storytelling ability. She becomes the stand-in mother in Neverland, which is predominantly male. Populate by the lost boys, the red Indians, and the pirates. The only other female characters are definitely not mothers and could be said to be 'the other kind' of female, the seductress or temptress. Tinker-Bell's 'problem' with Wendy most adults would recognize as sexuel jealousy, and Tiger Lily is seeking a relationship from Peter that has nothing to do with 'mothering'

Q1) With the National Ballet's impending move to new quarters soon, attention has also been focused to a greater degree than usual on the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet originally had its origins in a ballet club with its organization started in 1938 by means of two immigrant English dance teachers. Its first public appearance before an audience was to a specialized audience in a pageant appearance for a royal visit to Winnipeg by the King and Queen of England, King George IV and Queen Elizabeth. The visit took place in June, 1939, and the pageant was a planned part of the royal visit. Although the Winnipeg Ballet Company became the first ballet company in the Commonwealth to be granted a royal charter, because of the fact that there was a disastrous and damaging fire which destroyed much of their costumes, props, music and performance space, it almost was destroyed as a ballet company a year later. Years later, at this point in time, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company of Dancers is known for what many critics have called "prairie-freshness," but, also for a widely diverse repertoire, performing many different styles of ballet in a touring company that has relatively few dancers and is not by any means large.
