Glen Tetley’s Field Figures, a world premiere for The Royal Ballet New Group in 1970, signalled a radical shift in repertoire for the newly renamed and re-formed company towards contemporary dance; his work was familiar to British audiences from performances by Ballet Rambert. Danced to music by Karlheinz Stockhausen and designs by Nadine Baylis, the cast at first performance at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, included Deanne Bergsma, Desmond Kelly, Vergie Derman and Nicholas Johnson.
