Page Turner.

The article discusses the inaugural season of Ashley Page as the new director of the Scottish Ballet. After the death of Peter Darrell in 1987, the founder and choreographer of the Scottish Ballet, the company for 14 years had been floundering in search of a workable individual and they chose Page, who was still dancing with the Royal Ballet, for the directorial position. The board gives Page the freedom to program up to a third of the repertory with his own ballets, leaving two thirds for external commissions. Page sets out a revamp of the company's ballet dancers and hires new mix modern and classically trained dancers to supplement the remaining half of the existing ballet dancers.
