Following Sir Fred's steps

Following Sir Fred's Steps is an insightful and wide-ranging look at the rich legacy of Sir Frederick Ashton (1904-1988), one of the great choreographers of the twentieth century. Bringing together a broad range of differing perspectives - historical documentation, critical analyses of choreography, studies of technique and style, as well as fascinating reminiscences and anecdotes by dancers, teachers and choreographers - it also bridges the gap between different dance specialists: performers, choreographers, notators, scholars and critics. Based on papers, talks, and practical workshops given at the highly successful Ashton Conference held at the Roehampton Institute, London, in November 1994, Following Sir Fred's Steps is both diverse and stimulating, and represents a major reappraisal of Ashton's work. An invaluable source for both ballet practitioners and dance writers, it is also not to be missed by Ashton lovers.
