Wildlife

Wildlife is the result of an inspired artistic collaboration. Richard Alston's choreography is danced to an exotic score, specially composed by Nigel Osborne, on a set dominated by spectacular moving kites by painter Richard Smith, lit by Peter Mumford who creates dramatic effects of light and shade. Recorded in studio, Wildlife is a strikingly original example of modern dance at its best. An introduction in which Alston, Osborne, Smith and Mumford talk about working together is available.
