Alston's Tribute: Repetitive Motion

The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Ballets Russes has been celebrated with revivals and commemorative premieres around the world this year. Yet it was well on its way to sneaking by unnoticed in Washington. That is, until the Richard Alston Dance Company, an appealing 11-member modern dance troupe, arrived from England.

You were expecting, perhaps, that any tribute to one of the greatest ballet institutions in the history of the art form would come from a ballet company? That would have been a logical thing for any one of the several classical troupes who paid us visits this year to do. None did. So much the better: Alston's bracingly fresh and poignant take on the Ballets Russes one-act 'Petrushka,' performed Saturday at George Mason University, was an insightful look into the effect of artistic demands and celebrity on one of the most famous members of the avant-garde group.
