John Ashford (ex-Director of The Place theater) talking about British dance in Time Out.

John Ashford talking to Lyndsey Winship in Time Out

He's right, he's so right, righter than right, completely right. Oh my god.

Does make you wonder why he brings it up now once he's left his position? His position in which he was actually in power to change things? Maybe that's harsh, been around the Place for a few years now and there's been some very interesting stuff. Apart of course from the Place Prize which, oh my god, was awful. A final of not very good pieces, and the worst one won! (Who was on the panel again?)

Anyway at least there's someone in power with the balls to say something, even if it is over his shoulder as the door is shutting!

Farewell John Ashford!
