Jennifer Dunning THIS IS AN EXCERPT · DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE ARTICLE FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES Lincoln Center Festival 2004 will pay homage to the choreographer Frederick Ashton this summer with a centennial retrospective performed by companies from England, the United States and Japan. The festival will revive a Stephen Sondheim-Burt Shevelove production, The Frogs from 1974, adapted by and starring Nathan Lane and directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, in a co-production with Lincoln Center Theater. It will include at least seven new songs by Mr. Sondheim. And Paul D. Miller, a New York conceptual artist known as DJ Spooky, will present programs that include a multimedia production called Rebirth of a Nation that "remixes" the 1915 D. W. Griffith film... Other attractions include the four-day New York Video Festival, a new dance by Shen Wei in which performers will paint the stage of Alice Tully Hall, and a screening of Un Chien Andalou with new accompaniment by four contemporary composers, performed by Ensemble Sospeso.
