Scottish Ballet Tea Party

This year Scottish Ballet is 40 years young!

As part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, we’d like to invite Scottish Ballet dancers and staff past and present to a special 40th birthday tea party in our brand new home at Tramway, on Sunday 6th September from 3pm – 5pm.

Not only will this be a great opportunity for everyone to meet and catch up, take a tour of our new premises and enjoy some tea and birthday cake, but also to enjoy an exclusive viewing of our 40th anniversary exhibition in the T5 gallery.


The Peter Darrell studio in Scottish Ballet's new home at Tramway

This contemporary exhibition will feature moments - and movements - in time captured on camera over the last 40 years, as well as Mercury - a specially commissioned film from award-winning filmmaker Daniel Warren. This incredible piece explores a slowed-down world of motion featuring Scottish Ballet dancers, as dramatic high-definition sequences are interspersed with documentary glimpses of the intensive processes and conversations which lead to the creation of movement.

Ex colleagues should get in touch by confirming their attendance via our Facebook group, or by sending a message to MarketingPress@scottishballet.co.uk, including the years you worked with Scottish Ballet and the position you held.

    Elsie; thanks for visiting our blog (a corgi in Southern California) and for your kind words

    I think yours is the first journal I have come across that highlights ballet! I enjoyed reading some of the interviews with the ballet dancers; such talented people all are!! I do enjoy watching ballet, again for their talent as they interpret music; what a joy to be part of it, I'm sure

    best of luck with this event; sounds fascinating and fun :)

    What a wonderful profession you have. I danced ballet for many years as a child and young adult. I just adored it!

    This is a lovely blog, the first I've encountered about the ballet art form.

    I wished to thank you for the kind words over at my little kitchen. New friends are always welcome, so sit, sip the wine and relax while I cook up a wee snack.

    Ciao,
    Lola
