En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Martin Lawrence

Tango infused contemporary dance sizzles on a hot summer evening. Sometimes tempestuous, sometimes tender; four couples oscillate between summer storms and wintry chills. Tangent, choreographed by Martin Lawrence opens a triple bill by the Richard Alston Dance Company at Sadlers Wells. He draws inspiration from Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas played on stage by pianist Jason Ridgway. 

Contemporary Dance comes to The Lowry with a triple bill: An Italian in Madrid, Tangent, and Chacony. From Naples to Madrid; South America to Britain, a diverse, musical programme.

Richard Alston is a true Contemporary Dance artist and choreographer, and his company a staple within the British Contemporary Dance scene. But last week's performance at Sadler's Wells was short of a five star.
