Frederick Ashton: Links in the Chain (documentary 2021)

A 40-minute documentary commissioned by the Frederick Ashton Foundation to mark the tenth anniversary of the Foundation’s launch in autumn 2011. Made by dance film-maker Lynne Wake, it throws light on how the choreographic steps and intentions of one of the country’s greatest choreographers are handed down from one generation to the next, with participants ranging from past luminaries of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet and The Royal Ballet to today’s Marianela Nuñez, Vadim Muntagirov, Gary Avis, Fumi Kaneko, Francesca Hayward and William Bracewell, and choreographers David Bintley and Wayne Eagling.
