Richard Alston Dance Company
Concert Hall
Launched in 1994 to great acclaim,
the Richard Alston Dance Company has grown
into one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary
companies. Music plays a vital part in their
identity, and Alston is rightly admired for the
musicality of his work. His emphasis on
movement links his choreography to the work
of Balanchine, Merce Cunningham and Frederick
Ashton. This is dance that serves no other agenda
than Alston’s desire to present something
of great beauty.
“ ... the finest choreographer the British moderndance
scene has ever known... Alston, over the last
30 years, has made most of Britain’s best dances.”
– The New York Times
