About Me

SDT is Scotland's leading dance theatre company. We tour regularly throughout the UK and internationally as well as performing at the Edinburgh Fringe every year. Led by Artistic Director Janet Smith, we have 10 full time professional (and extremely talented) dancers, one apprentice and a gorgeous new studio at our home base, Dundee Rep Theatre. We work collaboratively with innovative choreographers of all kinds - from rising stars such as Liv Lorent to internationally renowned choreographers such as Rui Horta in creating exciting work that challenges, entertains, and ultimately moves people. (PS...If you're lucky enough to live in Dundee, you can join our classes! Check out our website www.scottishdancetheatre.com for more details).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Love to meet anyone who's interested in dance, theatre, music, or performance...

Music:

Whatever our collaborating choreographers want to use in the work they create with us... in the past couple of years it's been everything from Max Richter (LUXURIA by Liv Lorent) to Tom Waits (No Stronger Than A Flower by Jan De Schynkel) to Arvo Part (In the Middle of the Moment by Uri Ivgi & Johan Greben) to soundscapes of the wilds of Africa (Touching Zulu by Janet Smith) as well as Bach and some original composition by Adrian Freedman in Adam Benjamin's new integrated work,Angels of Incidence. At the moment we're currently loving Ezio Bosso and his music for Liv Lorent's tenderhook and Carlo Natoli, Composer for the piece, Second Storm.

Movies:

Rhythm Is It - a brilliant dance film featuring the Royston Maldoom.

Heroes:

Everyone creative, innovative, original and open to new experiences.
