Gypsy Mixture/Shimmer/Brisk Singing
Gypsy Mixture - features the fervent music of Balkan gypsies remixed by contemporary DJs.
Shimmer is danced to the sun drenched live music of Ravel.
Brisk Singing is a revival of one of Alston's biggest hits of recent years. This buoyant and uplifting work is carried along by the music of the baroque genius Jean-Philippe Rameau. It is a wash of glorious movement, with limbs flung high nad wide in lunging, soaring space. This is an expansive and beautifully crafted work that is guaranteed to send you away with a smile.
