Ashton's Legacy
Sir Frederick Ashton , who died in August at the age of 83, was one of the founders of British ballet. Colin Nears considers the variety of his choreographic output, from the entertainment of La Fille malgardee to the purity of Symphonic Variations and the passion of Marguerite andArmand, and assesses the legacy of Ashton's approach and style, with those who knew and worked with him, including his co-founder of the Royal
Ballet, Dame Ninette de Valois, and his biographer, David Vaughan.
