Frederick Ashton: Links in Chain
Lynne Wake | UK 2021 | 45 min | Original Version
A post-screening discussion with the director and her editor, Christopher Bird, will follow.
Created by dance film maker Lynne Wake, the film explores how Ashton’s work and his intentions are passed down from one generation to the next —featuring participants ranging from former stars of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet and the Royal Ballet London to Marianela Nuñez, Vadim Muntagirov, Francesca Hayward, William Bracewell, and others, as well as choreographers David Bintley and Wayne Eagling.
