Films by Scottish Ballet
From Edinburgh filmmaker Daniel Warren comes a series of films presenting three very different sides of Scottish Ballet.
Public: Private UK, 2004, 14 mins
Inspired by the work of Edgar Degas, this film captures Scottish Ballet stretching, chatting, improvising, preparing in the wings. We are presented with a palpable sense of not just what it looks like, but what it feels like to inhabit a dancer’s body.Marionettes UK, 2007, 5 mins
Marionettes was developed from a series of ‘dance for film’ workshops with members of Scottish Ballet. Limor Ziv’s choreography and its puppet characters Pieretta and Puaro, are based on lyrics written by Hebrew poet Leah Goldberg, famously put to music by Achinoam Nini.Mercury UK, 2009, 38 mins
Mercury enters a previously unseen and slowed down world of motion featuring dancers from Scottish Ballet, with glimpses of the intensive processes and conversations which lead to the creation of movement.
