My first program with Scottish Ballet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Agradecido con la vida de estar donde estoy con las maravillosas personas que me aman y me rodean. It has been such a wonderful experience to have been able to debut on Crystal Pite’s Emergence. Looking forward to performing this production in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Gracias @jessicafyfeofficial for making this process a wonderful experience and @sshhaggee for the coaching and inspiration on the prologue pas de deux. Grateful and excited for what’s to come 🫶🏼 #scottishballet #crystalpite #emergence #noscotlandnoparty #ballet

A very special week at Scottish Ballet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🩰 A huge thank you to Chris Hampson and to everyone across Scottish Ballet for such a thought-provoking, inspiring and genuinely enriching week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to step into your world for a few days and to gain such a valuable insight into the work, thinking and people behind this extraordinary organisation. The strength of the values-led culture transpires through every part of Scottish Ballet, as does the ambition to keep questioning, innovating and finding new ways to tell meaningful 21st-century stories through dance. From the artistic work on stage and on screen, to the hugely impactful work happening across every department, it was inspiring to see such a clear sense of purpose running through the organisation. Thank you to everyone who so generously shared their time, opened up conversations, answered my endless questions and, perhaps even more importantly, raised plenty of new questions for me to take away and think about! Almost every conversation sparked another thought, another idea or another perspective, and I know I’ll be carrying many of those with me for a long time. It was also a real treat to catch the opening night of Emergence double bill and to see Scottish Ballet’s wonderfully versatile dancers in action in Julia Cheng’s brand new Entress, and the genius Crystal Pite’s timeless Emergence. A beautiful and powerful evening of dance, and such a brilliant way to experience the company’s artistic voice from the other side of the curtain! And as if that wasn’t enough, I also had the opportunity to catch a glimpse into the wonderfully rich and multifaceted education work at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland! An amazing week of learning, questioning, reflecting and developing…. Thank you, Chris, and thank you to every single person who made me feel so welcome. I’m leaving Glasgow with an enormous amount to think about, a renewed sense of curiosity, and so much admiration for the people and work of Scottish Ballet. And, of course, an especially huge thank you to Positioning Ballet for making this experience possible!
