The Richard Alston Dance Company has created a new, diverse and entertaining programme for their 2013 visit to Exeter Northcott Theatre.

Martin Lawrance's Madcap is a startlingly original piece with music by New York band, Bang on a Can All-Stars.

In Buzzing Round the Hunnisuccle, Alston combines two pieces of music by Jo Kondo in a dance of nimble and breathtaking precision: Isthmus moves with rapid light rhythms, both sharp and delicate. By contrast, Hunnisuccle is an oasis of calm-hushed chords creating a sense of mystery in the air.

For the evening's finalé Alston has revived his effervescent The Devil in the Detail, inspired by the music of 'King of Ragtime' Scott Joplin.

Irresistible classics such as Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer are blended with the lightness and finesse of Alston's choreography.
