To celebrate Scottish Ballets 40th Anniversary, there will be an anniversary tour, and the company is touring a contemporary visual exhibition celebrating the art of movement, Scottish Ballet’s dancers and their phenomenal ability. Showcasing spectacular photographs from the Company’s vibrant repertoire that capture rehearsals and performances from a behind-the-scenes perspective, the exhibition will also feature Mercury a newly commissioned film by award-winning filmmaker Daniel Warren exploring a previously unseen, slowed down world of motion featuring dancers from Scottish Ballet. Dramatic high-definition sequences are interspersed with documentary glimpses of the intensive processes and conversations which lead to the creation of movement.
