Scottish Ballet

Each dancer performing the role of Sweet Treat in #SBHanselGretel will have their tutu sized to them individually by our in-house wardrobe team to make sure it fits perfectly. Can we have one too? #tututuesday #tutu #tutus #ballet #costume #wardrobe (at Scottish Ballet)

Three days until MC 14/22 (Ceci est mon corps) and Emergence take the stage at #EdintFest! That's only 80 hours, for anyone excitedly counting them down like we are...

Wait for it... #EdintFest #AngelinPreljocaj #dance #contemporary #contemporarydance (at Scottish Ballet)

#EdintFest opens today! See us at Festival Theatre from 18-20 August when sensuality, brutality and spellbinding spectacle come together - it'll look a little bit like this. #dance #contemporarydance #Edinburgh #ballet #AngelinPreljocaj #CrystalPite

"One of the things I have enjoyed when working on MC 14/22 is that we are trying to create our own world in which the routines and rituals are things we go through everyday; even the most violent and physical acts." Jamiel Laurence, Soloist. #edintfest #anjelinpreljocaj (📷: Nisbet Wylie)

"Rehearsals for MC 14/22 have been very challenging, as the work is so brutally physical while also being extremely provoking emotionally. I can't wait to be on stage and feel the audience's reactions." - Christopher Harrison, Principal dancer. #edintfest #anjelinpreljocaj (📷: Nisbet Wylie)

Join us next week for a day in the life of Soloist Nicholas Shoesmith, where we'll be spending the day in rehearsals for @edintfest and asking questions about life as a dancer. Find out how to get involved via the link in our profile! #AskNick #edintfest (at Scottish Ballet)

Yes, this was filmed in real-time. @sophiecmartin gives a blink-and-you'll-miss-it look at Crystal Pite's eerie #Emergence, coming soon to #Edintfest and #SBAutumn. #dance #ballet #contemporary #contemporarydance (🎶: Owen Belton) (at Scottish Ballet)

Masks for Crystal Pite's #Emergence are being made up origami-style in the wardrobe department. The dancers will have to wear these in rehearsals to get used to dancing with their faces covered on stage - don't worry, we'll get plenty of photos of that! #SBAutumn #CrystalPite #dance #costume #costumes #mask (at Scottish Ballet)

Sophie Laplane shows the boys how it's done in rehearsals for her world premiere, Sibilo. #SBAutumn #dance #contemporary #contemporarydance (at Scottish Ballet)
