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. This heart-warmingly optimistic show is romantic ballet at its most charming and never fails to draw mesmerising performances from its leads.
