scottish ballet
As Scotland’s national dance company, our mission is to inspire on stage and
beyond. In 2019 the company celebrated 50 years of a creative vision crafted by
Scotland. Based in Glasgow, the company performs regularly all over Scotland –
from our biggest cities to our most remote communities, and increasingly
throughout the UK and internationally – promoting Scotland’s pioneering spirit
far and wide. Our artistic vision: bold, adventurous performances rooted in
strong classical technique. It’s how we started and it’s how we’ll grow. Our
desire to explore new styles and push creativity is as alive as ever – we’ll
continue to work with ground-breaking choreographers such as Ivgi & Greben,
Bryan Arias, David Dawson and Crystal Pite. Our creative vision goes beyond
choreography. From digital platforms to novel ideas that engage our audiences,
we’re always seeking new ways to bring the power of dance to as many people as
possible. We are here to present ballet at its best. We are passionate about
live music and tour with an orchestra whenever we can. We present classics in
new ways and we work with the finest dance makers. Throughout it all, we strive
for excellence. We are dedicated to supporting the arts and communities in
Scotland. Scottish Ballet nurtures the talent of tomorrow; supporting dancers,
choreographers and a wide range of artists. Our goal: to inspire excellence and
creativity in everyone and bring dance to people we haven’t reached before. We
want to bring the joy and benefits of dance to everyone regardless of age,
ability and background. Our engagement programme promotes confidence, fosters
well-being and encourages creativity in all by delivering inspirational
programmes tailored to the needs of each group.
