A full colour image of Maria Nikoloulea performing Richard Alston's Overdrive, image by Catherine Ashmore

choreography: Richard Alston

Terry Riley’s mesmerising Keyboard Studies create ever more complicated layers of urgent rhythm, pushing the dancers to their limits and setting the whole stage in frenetic motion.

"Alston at his finest, driving the 11 dancers through a series of beautifully lit duets, trios and ensemble moments. A genuine pleasure to watch"

The Scotsman

First performed by Richard Alston Dance Company at Derngate Northampton on 3 October 2003.

A DVD featuring a full performance of Overdrive, together with rehearsal footage and in-depth analysis, is available from our shop, priced £24.99.
