Frederick Ashton’s The Dream returns after a 17-year absence to Toronto this November. Based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the one-act re-imagining is one of The National Ballet of Canda’s only productions to feature men performing on pointe.
In this latest video, Second Soloists Joe Chapman and Spencer Hack and Corps de Ballet member Giorgio Galli share how they are training to take on the role of Bottom.
The Dream is onstage with Choreographic Associate and Principal Dancer Guillaume Côté’s Being and Nothingness, November 21 – 25, 2018 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
