Richard Alston Dance Company has grown into the UK’s most avidly followed contemporary dance company. The Company offers a unique combination of the innovative and the entertaining in the work of its Artistic Director, Richard Alston.
In building its repertoire, Richard Alston Dance Company focuses on Alston’s new choreography but combines this with the re-creation of seminal past works from Alston’s career. Music plays a vital part in the Company’s identity and since its inception Alston has used the work of a diverse range of composers including Brahms, Britten, Hoagy Carmichael, Heiner Goebbels, Astor Piazzolla, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Schumann, Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Recently, the company’s annual At Home seasons at The Place’s Robin Howard Dance Theatre have included new and newly commissioned work by young British composers.
“The finest choreographer the British modern dance scene has ever known.” – The New York Times
