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. Slow Airs (Almost All) - Mozart's adagios for string trio - played live - form the heart of of this piece. Light Flooding Into Darkened Rooms - is accompanied by live music for lute and guitar, and delves into the inner feelings and intimate thoughts of two people in a private encounter. Flourish - the unadulterated pleasures of Handel's concerti for organ and orchestra have inspired Alston to get his whole company on the move. Rejoicing in melody, and mixing great energy with lightness of touch, this is music and dance to celebrate the new millennium.
