Production details

The Signal Of The Shake - It is the sheer, unadulterated pleasure of Baroque music which has inspired Alston to get his whole company on the move to Handel's concerti for organ and orchestra. Rejoicing in melody, mixing rumbustious vigour with lightness of touch, this is a brand new dance to greet the millennium with a positive air. A Sudden Exit - is set to Brahms' Intermezzi and Rhapsodies from Opus 118 and 119. Full of sadness and resignation these pieces are Brahms at his finest. This extraordinary music balancing an almost imporvised spontaneity with a sureness of structure and finely judged detail , is the inspiration for an intimate dance about deep affection - affection tinged with regret. The programme also inlcludes a new production of Alston's smash hit Rouchcut, made in 1990 when he was director of Rambert Dance Company. Set to Steve Reich's shimmering New York and Electric Counterpoints for clarinet and guitar.
