Richard Alston Dance Company

The Haydn of contemporary dance – elegant, original and profoundly musical – Richard Alston turns 70 this year. In Mid Century Modern, this remarkable talent looks back over his half-century at the forefront of choreography, with a new piece by his protégé Martin Lawrance providing support.
