Dancer, teacher, and exile Zora Semborova has died in Adelaide, months before returning to Prague to celebrate her hundredth birthday. She has an honoured role in the explosion of Australian performance culture in the 1970’s.
Zora Semborova brushed lightly but fiercely against a few of us in Adelaide in the 1970s.
When she arrived at the drama department in Flinders University to teach movement, we knew she was there for love of an oceanographer, and caught in Australia by the turmoil of 1968 in Czechoslovakia.
