Richard Alston Dance Company - Rejoice in the Lamb/Burning/Nomadic/Madcap archiveContemporary 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. Richard Alston Dance Company launches its 20th anniversary celebrations with a programme unique to Sadler's Wells. Making its London debut, Alston's Rejoice in the Lamb is Benjamin Britten's joyous setting of the brilliant and fervent words of poet Christopher Smart. Next on the bill is Martin Lawrance's latest piece, Burning, as passionate and turbulent as its music, the Dante Sonata of Franz Liszt. In the world premiere of Sadler's Wells commission Nomadic, Alston revisits the musical genre of his hugely popular Gypsy Mixture - with darker and sharper music from Ursari Gypsy band Shukar Collective. To explore the interaction between gypsy music and urban sound, Alston is collaborating with the young dancer and choreographer Ajani Johnson-Goffe. Finally the iconic band Icebreaker play Julia Wolfe's percussive score for Lawrance's dynamic and exhilarating Madcap. Running time: 2hrs (including two 20min intervals)
