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.
Stampede/Slow Airs Almost All/Rumours, Visions
Stampede Richard Alston's latest creation for his 12-strong company, responds to the exotic strains of Italian music from the Middle Ages.
Slow Airs Almost All has at its heart duets, folding and unfolding to the sweet untrammelled singing of Mozart adagios for string trio.
Rumours, Visions completes the spring repertory; it is an impassioned interpretation of Benjamin Britten's song cycle
Les Illuminations dealing with the intense love life and nightmarish hallucinations of the poet Rimbaud.
