Soloists William Bracewell and Reece Clarke,
among others, donned trainers to dance on sunlit pavements and
cobble stones outside the shuttered entrances of some of
London's biggest theatres.
These included Shakespeare's Globe, the Royal Opera House and
the Royal Albert Hall.
The film's producers said in a statement that they wanted to
shine a spotlight on a sector threatened by "the unrelenting
pressures of COVID-19".
The film was directed by Joanna DeFelice, Meaghan Grace Hinkis
and Melanie Hamrick, a ballet dancer and partner of The Rolling
Stones lead singer Mick Jagger.
It was choreographed to The Rolling Stones' "Living In A Ghost
Town", a single released in April 2020.
The project aims to raise funds for Acting for Others, a network
of fourteen charities providing financial and emotional
assistance and support for theatre workers.
