Frederick Ashton

Article Abstract:

Ballet dancer Frederick Ashton's interpretive skill can be credited to his intense desire to connect with others and to seek reassurance. His mimicry, flexibility and impersonation distinguished him from other dancers. Ashton could at once invoke beauty, danger, romance and alienation. This talent made up for a restrictive childhood and enabled him to develop life-long friendships.

Benjamin Zemach (1902-1997)

Article Abstract:

Dancer Benjamin Zemach fostered many distinct but understated innovations in ballet and modern dance. He drew the Hebraic tradition into the art, and advanced the popularity and prestige of Jewish dance companies such as the Habima. Although important, Zemach's work remains largely unrecognized because of his very broad range of involvement, both artistically and geographically.
