London: H. Hamilton, 1985. First edition.

He has served as director of the Berlin Opera Ballet and the Royal Ballet and is currently associate director of American Ballet Theatre. He has created over 50 ballets. MacMillan choreographs abstract dances, but his commitment to narrative ballet and psychologically charged subjects has secured him a special place in dance history.
