Biography
Born John Greenfield in
Dame Margot Fonteyn and Svetlana Beriosova.[1]
In 1946, the Vic-Wells Ballet relocated from
Sir Kenneth MacMillan. He held the position for a year, but his relationship with MacMillan deteriorated and he eventually resigned, after being invited to take the post of artistic director at La Scala Theatre Ballet and the La Scala Theatre Ballet School in Milan, Italy. He was artistic director of La Scala for three years from 1971 to 1974.[1]
On returning to England in 1975, Field was appointed director of the
British Ballet Organization. He also taught at the Arts Educational School in London. His last post with a professional ballet company was as artistic director of the London Festival Ballet, today's English National Ballet. Following his death in 1991, it was decided to hold a regular summer school in his memory, so the John Field Memorial Ballet Seminars were established in 1993 and ran for a number of years.[1]
