The idea - 60 new dance pieces are performed to 60 new pieces of music, each lasting no more than 60 seconds - is quite mad. But it's this kind of madness that makes the cultural world go round" New York Times "a thoroughly enjoyable and original hour" - Classical 96.3 FM You can see last year's show at the Sheldon here.
