Performer: Cayetano Soto

A film and two live performances prove to be an excellent demonstration of Scottish Ballet's diverse talents.

By the time a rain of multicoloured paper hands floated down from above, a bizarre figure in orange strolled onstage, ignored by everybody, the audience was in love with the whole thing.

Clearly on a mission to prove that today’s dance world comprises many styles that feed into and refresh each other, Scottish Ballet starts as it means to go on.

Made up of aspiring professional dancers from eight different nations, the Junior Ballett Zürich performs a programme of internationally renowned choreographers every two years.

Catch this company wherever and whenever you can.

A highly visceral experience: Ballet BC opens its new season with three works by Cayetano Soto, Stijn Celis and Crystal Pite.
