To Dance and Skylark Light Flooding into Darkened Rooms Overdrive.
Having recently celebrated 40 years of making dance, Richard Alston returns with an exquisite evening of classic and contemporary repertoire.
Martin Lawrence's To Dance and Skylark (2009) is a celebration of Bach's colourful Brandenburg concertos, their rhythmic complexity and melodic vigour reflected in the company's high-spirited athletics - 'clever, original, true choreography' (Financial Times)
In contrast Alston's Light Flooding Into Darkened Rooms (2002) is delicate and tender, 'a lovely portrait of lovers' intimacy' (Sunday Telegraph) accompanied by the works of Baroque lute master Denis Gaultier and contemporary pieces of mandolin. 'Fast paced and utterly exhilarating' (Sunday Times), Overdrive (2003) is a highly charged onslaught of sharply etched energy, catching the urgency of Terry Riley's Keyboard Studies and running with it to the wire.
A triple bill of contemporary dance magic from 'the finest choreographer the British modern dance scene has ever known!' (New York Times).
