Produktbeschreibung
An intimate and autobiographical account of a Dancer's journey from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to his travels in Europe. Accepted at the age of sixteen by the Royal Ballet School (London) he completed a three year dance course culminating in a performance at the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden). His professional Career took him to Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and back to London again. Stephen founded his own 'Focus on Dance' company, a performing and educational enterprise based in Bournemouth, England, touring the south and south-west of England. Then he took his dance to the streets of Europe. He has subsequently performed to street audiences in the major cities and towns of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Holland, France and Italy. In 1989 he moved to Fiano, in northern Tuscany. Stephen Ward died in 2013. This book is his lasting testament. A tender, moving portrait and a tribute to dance, dogs, friends, nature - and to life itself!

He found work on a building site and the owner of the site who was a barrister was sufficiently impressed to invite him to become a barristers' clerk. At the age of 16 with his first suit and a pink tie Stephen Ward became a junior clerk at 2 Crown Office Row in the Temple, London. At the age of 25, Stephen was one of the youngest senior clerks in the UK after 10 years' experience in the Temple and Grays Inn, London. He is now the Managing Director of Clerksroom and manages a team of 20 clerks and oversees the worldwide operations of Clerksroom.
