"Shuffle It Right," commissioned for the University of Notre Dame's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
Launched in 1994 to great acclaim, Richard Alston Dance Company has grown into one of Britain's most celebrated contemporary companies.
The songwriter Hoagy Carmichael recorded his own often witty lyrics in a low-key Southern drawl, a style he described as "Lazying". In Richard Alston's brand new Shuffle It Right, the songs Alston has chosen (Riverboat Shuffle, Georgia, Old Man Harlem and, of course, Star Dust) fairly scurry along with wry little licks and subtly punched out rhythm. It is toe-tapping, knee-jiggling music which gets the whole company moving.
"[Alston] turns the stage into an expanse on which music and movement meet for a rewarding, refreshing, uplifting ride." - Newsday
