Company

Birmingham Royal Ballet

Divertissements - Four short works that show the range of Ashton's styles: Voices of Spring- A beautiful evocation of spring, set to music by Johann Strauss II, Five Brahms Waltzes in the manner of Isadora Duncan - Inspired by the fascinating, controversial and compelling dancing of Isadora Duncan. Tweedledum and Tweedledee - Three popular characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice books spring hilariously to life. Set to music by Percy Grainger. The Walk to the Paradise Garden - Delius's beautiful score translated into dance. - The Two Pigeons - Despite many temptations, true love wins the day.
