RICHARD ALSTON DANCE COMPANY

Light Flooding Into Darkened Rooms
Even More
Overdrive


Richard Alston’s Summer 2010 offering is a breathtaking example of contemporary dance.  As always, music is at the heart of Alston’s’ work, and the company’s 2010 programme continues this theme.

Alston’s Light Flooding Into Darkened Rooms is inspired by Vermeer’s iconic portrait, ‘Girl With A Pearl Earring’ and lute music by the 17^th century master Denis Gaultier.  The piece has been well-received and highly critically acclaimed with the Daily Telegraph calling it ‘A lovely portrait of lovers’ intimacy which explores the turbulent privacy of the world of Vermeer paintings.

In contrast, Alston’s newest piece, Even More, receiving its touring premiere at the Arts Theatre, is performed to Russian composer Prokofiev’s passionate and percussive Sonata No.6  for piano. In the third piece, Overdrive, Alston takes up the pulsating rhythm of modern Californian composer Terry Riley’s music and runs with it to the wire.
