Brief Candles (2007) 

Brief Candles illuminates the passionate and lyrical relationship between dance and music, from first creative spark to thrilling live performance.

Performed by the Richard Alston Dance Company with live music, the programme features three works by acclaimed composer Simon Holt, choreographed by Richard Alston, framed by two new works, commissioned from fast emerging choreographers Martin Lawrance and Darren Ellis and the best of the next generation of composers.

"Richard Alston's choreography is lyrical in the deepest, clearest sense; it sings"
