Graham Watts, 1st March

A lifetime of achievement that keeps on giving

Richard Alston Dance Company draws inspiration from around the world in diverse triple bill.

Philippa Newis, 16th June

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.
