Scottish Ballet’s creative approach extends beyond the stage, with projects spanning film, digital platforms, and audience engagement initiatives. Community engagement activities are inspired by the repertoire, including neurological health classes, adult classes and schools’ workshops. These programmes are rooted in the company’s vision to ensure the power of dance is widely accessible.
Live performance remains a core priority, and the company tours with an orchestra whenever possible. Whether presenting established works or reimagining classics, Scottish Ballet maintains a strong focus on quality and artistic integrity.
Scottish Ballet continues to invest in work that contributes to the development of dance as an art form, while seeking to make a meaningful and lasting impact for future generations locally, nationally and internationally.
