The Signal of a Shake
Richard Alston Dance Company returns with a wonderfully varied programme culminating in Alston's latest hit,
The Signal of a Shake which premiered in London in March. Handel's concerti for organ and orchestra have inspired Britain's most musical choreographer to get his ten dancers on the move, weaving in and out of Handel's glorious melodies. Rejoicing in infectious rhythm, mixing rumbustuous vigour with lightness of touch,
The Signal of a Shake is music and dance at its most celebratory.
