Mid-century Modern
Place Theatre, London/Touring
MARKING 50 years of Richard Alston’s choreography, this trio of works is a reflection on modernism and its place in 21st century dance.
Showcasing some of Richard Alston Dance Company's existing repertoire as well as newly commissioned work, the programme begins with Martin Lawrence’s Cut and Run.
An experiment in light and quick shifts of movement, danced to a score by composers Damian LeGassick and Michael Gordon, there is very little breathing space for dancers and audience in a piece where lighting plays a significant role.
