Caulfield School of Dance alumnus Ben Freemantle is featured in two New York Times reviews of San Fransisco Ballet’s “Unbound Festival of New Works“. One of the reviews calls this renown company “long… among the world’s most elegant and refined companies” and praises this “adventurous” festival which showcases 12 new works by 12 different choreographers over 17 days.
