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. Red Run embraces the spirit of its atmospheric score of the same name by the German composer Heiner Goebbels. Electric guitar gives a tinge of rock influence, and piano and brass burst into passages of all-out-jazz - but these episodes shift gear sharply into darker, more shadowy passages. The Devil in the Detail is a light-hearted, light-footed celebration of sheer elegance and wit. Scott Joplin, 'The King of Ragtime' wrote piano rags of huge appeal, rich in syncopated detail - it's music to make the dancers strut and stride in high style, yet remain cool and nonchalant.| 19 Apr 07 to 20 Apr 07 | Oxford Playhouse Oxford, Oxfordshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
