I’m a writer and researcher from Australia and have a question for you ballet folk, but first a little background. The three lines of capital letters I’ve re-produced below are thought to be a memory aide for various ballet ‘functions’ – the book they were written on (the back of a Rubaiyat) is part of a 1948 mystery when an identified man was found, dead, on an Adelaide beach. The case is still open and is commonly called “the Tamam Shud Mystery.’
He was thought to have been a ballet dancer as his calves were highly developed, much more so than normal, and the child that’s been generally assumed as being his was the well known Australian dancer, Robin Thomson.
I hope you’ve got this far. The code follows.

Follows is my attempt at the first line.

Maybe I’ll get lucky over here, thanks.
