“‘Fever,’ a 2001 piece to Monteverdi madrigals and sinfonias, sets the tone of the evening. It establishes Mr. Alston as a choreographer who builds from gracious spiraling motion, sending the performers on and off the stage in a long sweep…” |
|
“It's as if we're watching a grand love affair unfold within the score — from the sensuality of sleeping figures to the unfettered centrifugal power of the partnering and the Cupid-like allegro portions.” |
|
“Every so often, a dance comes along that almost takes your breath away. Richard Alston's ‘Gypsy Mixtures’ is just such a piece.” |
|
“…the dancing here exuded an intoxicating spontaneity — a feeling that seemed to shout, ‘Join us!’ The audience did so with huge applause.” |
|
“Meticulously organized, with tightly woven patters and an inherent joy, the three dances presented by the Richard Alston Dance Company on Tuesday night at the Joyce Theater were an exquisite balm for tired eyes and souls.” |
|
“The bodies gleam in light generated by colored crystals, and the eye is ravished…” |
|
“Much of the choreography is beautiful on its own terms. Alston finds pools of mysterious emotion in the music, which he encloses in gently askance duets…” |
