Contemporary dance. Richard Alston, Artistic Director of The Place, the UK's leading centre for contemporary dance, is internationally recognised as one of the most influential and inspiring choreographers in British dance. For his first visit to Buxton, Richard Alston's superbly skilled dancers perform in two exhilarating pieces. Rejoice in the Lamb, set to Benjamin Britten's wonderful cantata, was described by the New York Times as showing Alston's ?impeccable craftsmanship'. Also in this programme, the latest dance by Martin Lawrance, inspired by Liszt's Petrarch Sonnets, played live onstage by Jason Ridgway.
