Abstract
- The article discusses the contribution of choreographer Frederick Ashton to the ballet company Royal Ballet in Great Britain. His employment as successor of Ninette de Valios helps the company to go beyond its limitations with works such as "File." It offers him a break to become an established director because people appreciate his work. His works have been adapted and revived into several versions because of characters that seem to be real people with exceptional talents. Ashton is viewed as a universal choreographer by presenting characters whom people of different race can relate to and reflect on.
