Welcome
Scottish Ballet is Scotland’s national dance company. Founded by Peter Darrell and Elizabeth West as Western Theatre Ballet in Bristol in 1957, the Company moved to Glasgow in 1969 and was renamed Scottish Theatre Ballet, changing to Scottish Ballet in 1974. The Company performs across Scotland, the UK and abroad, with strong classical technique at the root of all of its work. Its broad repertoire includes both classical and fiercely contemporary works, including seminal pieces from the 20th century modern ballet canon, signature pieces by living choreographers, new commissions for revered contemporary choreographers, and full-length story ballets re-imagined with fresh relevance for a contemporary audience, creating a unique artistic identity.

Year 2010/11 2010/11 was an extremely successful year for Scottish Ballet. The Company enjoyed an enthusiastic reception to revivals of two of its most popular productions in recent years (Krzysztof Pastor’s Romeo and Juliet and Ashley Page’s Cinderella), alongside a new triple bill including the world premiere of Val Caniparoli’s Still Life. Scottish Ballet also embarked on a tour of small-scale venues across Scotland, bringing world-class dance to locations as far afield as Stranraer in Dumfries & Galloway to Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands.
Having moved into its purpose-built headquarters at Tramway in 2009, Scottish Ballet was delighted to see the building receive several awards during 2010/11, including the Architecture Grand Prix at the Scottish Design Awards and the Silver prize in the Public Building category at the Roses Design Awards.

A Romeo and Juliet for our times In spring 2010, Scottish Ballet brought Krzysztof Pastor’s Romeo and Juliet back to the stage. First performed in 2008, this powerful contemporary take on Shakespeare’s enduring tragedy won acclaim from critics and audiences alike who were astounded by the dancers’ passionate performances and the production’s emotional resonance. The 2010 tour called at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness, finishing with its Irish premiere at Belfast’s Grand Opera House. “Stunning… Genuinely beautiful and touching.” The Telegraph “Scottish Ballet’s melding of the classical and the modern continues to surpass our expectations.” Sunday Herald “Outstanding - cannot be recommended enough.” Press and Journal “Brilliant show! One of the best things I have ever seen - choreography incredible! Wonderful evening and a night I will take a long time to forget!” Audience member

Poise and precision In September, Scottish Ballet unveiled new triple bill Geometry and Grace, sponsored by private bank Adam and Company. The season featured Frederick Ashton’s Scènes de Ballet and Ashley Page’s Fearful Symmetries, alongside the world premiere of Still Life, a piece created for Scottish Ballet by San Francisco Ballet choreographer Val Caniparoli. The programme, which toured to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness, received five star reviews, with particular praise for the dancers’ impeccable technique as they rose to the challenge of technically demanding choreography. “A triple bill to savour and cherish.” The Herald “The company’s autumn season – a trio of pieces spanning 63 years – achieves the most difficult of things, diversity and continuity. A wonderful evening of dance. ” The Daily Telegraph “The sublime dancing held the audience spellbound.” Press & Journal “The programme was spellbindingly beautiful. Such precision, passion, expression and skill in such difficult pieces as your dancers conveyed are the mark of the greatest professionalism and artistry. Well done a hundred times, and thank you, thank you, thank you.” Audience member

A magical take on a timeless tale Scottish Ballet’s winter season 2010/11 was a revival of Ashley Page’s Cinderella. Premiered in 2005, Cinderella quickly became one of the Company’s most successful productions, its blend of fairytale magic and quirky humour appealing to audiences of all ages. The tour travelled to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Belfast, and once again received five star reviews. “A sumptuous, sparky romantic fairytale with dazzling designs and meaningfully inventive choreography.“ The Herald “Witty and gorgeous” The Sunday Herald “A visual delight, it just about has it all. Even those sceptical about ballet will come away spellbound.” Daily Record “I am still coming down from seeing Cinderella in Belfast. It is the most wonderful production and I enjoyed it so much. I also had the pleasure of seeing Cinderella when the Scottish Ballet last performed it in Belfast about 4 years ago. I loved it so much that when I saw it advertised to play this year I cajoled, coaxed and plain bullied so many friends to go. I am pleased to say that they all enjoyed it tremendously. It was a pure delight. Please extend my thanks to all your wonderful dancers and everyone behind the scenes who bring us ballet fans such lovely work. A special ‘Boo’ to the ugly sisters. Hilarious! Come back soon.” Audience member

Ballet on your doorstep As Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet is committed to making dance accessible to audiences across the country, and October 2010’s Up Close tour saw the Company perform in St Andrews, Stornoway, Dumfries, Ullapool, Stranraer, Kirkwall and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The Company split into two, with a north tour and a south tour, and performed a selection of short works: Ashley Page’s Room of Cooks and excerpts from Pennies from Heaven, the balcony pas de deux from Krzysztof Pastor’s Romeo and Juliet, Chasing Ghosts by Soloist Diana Loosmore and From Where by former Company member Paul Liburd. Audiences in the local communities were delighted to have a national company performing on their doorstep. “The whole audience enjoys the breathtaking proximity.” The Herald “The audience was in no hurry to leave, turning around and chatting animatedly about the experience, faces alight, minds stimulated. Exposing our youngsters to performing arts of this quality, extending their horizons and inspiring them – that’s important, and in that, this programme more than succeeded.” Northings

Cross-cultural collaboration During the course of the year, Scottish Ballet continued to develop its reach through partnerships with other cultural organisations. Working with independent cinemas, we presented Bodies of Work, a programme of three films commissioned by Scottish Ballet, at the Edinburgh Filmhouse as part of DANCE:FILM 10 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as at Glasgow Film Theatre and Queen’s Film Theatre in Belfast. The Company also presented one of the films – Mercury, originally commissioned for the 40th anniversary in 2009 – together with a panel discussion as part of the Human Race project, in association with the Scotland and Medicine partnership. As the year came to an end, the Company collaborated with the National Library of Scotland on an exhibition about Alice in Wonderland, featuring early editions and other archive material from the NLS collection alongside images and costume designs from Scottish Ballet’s new production of Alice, which premiered in April 2011.

Education is‌ everywhere The Education team works to provide life-enriching experiences that unlock the repertoire of Scottish Ballet. The Company aims to operate on a level of creativity that matches the artistic direction, seeking highlevel partnerships and producing groundbreaking projects that challenge and excite participants of all abilities.
Scottish Ballet’s classes.
Scottish Ballet currently offers a comprehensive range of programmes specifically designed to unlock its professional performance repertoire. Formal education workshops, weekly classes and holiday courses provide an opportunity to dance with the Company and to explore themes and choreography taken from its set works. A range of preshow talks, illustrated presentations and Insights give participants a window through which to view the world of the professional ballet dancer and to understand the design, music, production and the choreographic processes. By offering these strands of participatory and experiential activity, the Company provides many opportunities to connect with the widest possible community locally, nationally, and internationally through new micro site Connect and regular webcast events. In this new phase of development, the Company is prioritising creativity, access, technology and partnership. Through devising projects focussing on these areas, Scottish Ballet plans to offer local and national participants a much richer personal experience and a deeper connection with the Company.

Education is… online live!
In March 2011, Scottish Ballet hosted its first live webcast. Broadcast in conjunction with schools’ network GLOW, the webcast offered an insight into the dancers’ daily morning class, followed by a Q&A session with Principal dancer Tama Barry. The broadcast received an extremely positive response, with over 2,000 live hits, high repeat views once the film was uploaded onto Vimeo and Youtube, and great interest on Facebook and Twitter. Plans are now underway to make webcasting a regular feature, with access to backstage activity and the creative process scheduled for later in 2011.

Education is… experiencing dance in new ways October 2010 saw the launch of Scottish Ballet Youth Collective (SBYC), a new performance course for young dancers combining ballet and contemporary dance techniques with a range of performance skills including improvisation, drama and voice work. The programme is divided into two age groups: Small Steps for children in Primary 6 and 7, and Stride Out for pupils in S1–S4. The courses, which also include talks from Company members have proved popular so far, with 290 participants for Small Steps and 348 at Stride Out level. Launched in 2009 to offer young people with an aptitude for dance the chance to develop their skills, Ballet Buzz enjoyed another successful year. The project, which offers participants a short course of basic, accessible ballet training coupled with a range of ballet experiences: from discovering the range of career opportunities within the Company through a series of visits and workshops, to developing creative skills through practical repertoire based sessions. In 2010/11, the Education team delivered two terms of Ballet Buzz in Glasgow, and expanded the programme to offer a spring term in Aberdeen.

In March 2011, work began on The Hatter’s Garden, a new project for young people inspired by Scottish Ballet’s forthcoming product Alice. The project saw 105 young people with a background in dance or parkour working together with Scottish Ballet and Glasgow Parkour Coaching to create a unique site-specific performance in the Hidden Gardens next to Scottish Ballet’s headquarters at Tramway.

Education is… for parents and children As part of Scottish Ballet’s ever expanding class programme, parent and child (ages 3–5) class Wee Mice was developed to encourage boys’ and girls’ confidence, creativity and imagination as well as developing co-ordination and balance. In each class, participants learn about ballet through dance, stories, games and imaginative play, incorporating ideas and themes from story ballets such as The Nutcracker and Cinderella. Wee Mice was launched in January 2011, and the first term attracted 220 participants.

Education is… Access All Areas Scottish Ballet’s Access All Areas programme continues to give audiences the chance to learn more about the Company’s productions through a range of events in the theatre. At each venue, members of the music and artistic staff lead free pre-show talks, offering an insight into the production before the curtain rises, while events such as Outside In and Insights, which run in most venues that the Company visits, take a detailed look at the different elements that go into bringing a performance to life, from costumes and sets to artistic inspiration, and many events include a question and answer session with Company dancers.
In 2010/11, Scottish Ballet ran 61 theatre-based events which attracted 2,008 people, affirming that there is a real appetite to learn more about the Company’s work and for audiences to get the most they possibly can from their experience. Scottish Ballet continues to offer audio-described performances in most venues, giving visually impaired patrons the opportunity to experience dance. All audio-described performances are preceded by a touch tour in which patrons have the chance to get close to the props and costumes and experience some of the finer details of their craft.

Shaping the ballet stars of the future The Associate Programme, which offers young people the opportunity to appreciate the training being undertaken by professional dancers, continued to attract children from all over Scotland, with 29 local authorities represented in the 2010/2011 session, from the Highlands to the Borders. Following another very successful set of auditions, places were offered to 131 children in total, 22 of whom were boys. Competition for places remained extremely high with large numbers applying for the limited number of places, and the intake for 2010/11 academic year was the biggest in the history of the programme. The relatively new Mid Associates proved to be hugely popular once again, with over 100 children applying for entry at that level. It is already proving a valuable addition to the programme and will continue to increase the standard of work as these students feed through to the Senior Associates; indeed, the vast majority of students successfully gaining places on the Senior Associate programme were graduates from Mid Associates. The success of the programme is highlighted by the number of students gaining places in full-time vocational schools, with former Associates moving on to The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (formerly the RSAMD), The Royal Ballet School, Elmhurst School of Dance, Rambert School, The Dance School of Scotland, The Place, Ballet West, Laine Theatre Arts School and London Studio Centre.
Students at all levels continue to benefit from master classes and workshops with dancers from Scottish Ballet and thoroughly enjoy being able to observe the Company at work at Tramway.
To ensure accessibility and awareness, an open day was held in February 2011 where potential students, their parents and teachers could observe classes and gain an insight into the training facilities offered at Tramway.

Degree level dance in Scotland 2010/11 was a year of growth and preparation for the staff and students of the BA Modern Ballet Programme at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, which is delivered in partnership with Scottish Ballet. To recognise the addition of an entirely new discipline, the RSAMD took the decision to change its name to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland a change which reflects the fact that this is the only institution in Europe where vocational training in music, drama and dance is offered.
BA Modern Ballet students.
The Modern Ballet course (which was introduced in 2009), saw the arrival of its second cohort of students – from the UK and abroad - with an increase in the number and quality of applicants. Two of the twelve students in the new intake were graduates of Scottish Ballet’s Senior Associate Programme. The partnership between Scottish Ballet and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland continues to strengthen and is providing opportunities not only for the Modern Ballet students but also for
dancers from the Company who have coached, assessed, choreographed and inspired. This professional link has been immensely valuable to the students, and it is with great anticipation that we look forward to the graduation of the first cohort in July 2012.

Supporting Scottish Ballet Without the generous support of companies, trusts and foundations, diverse organisations and individual donors, Scottish Ballet could not deliver productions of the highest quality. All donations, sponsorships, grants and gifts in-kind make a significant difference. In 2010/11, individual donations, including contributions to the popular Friends’ Scheme, rose marginally. One initiative that attracted wide support was the Cinderella Shoe Appeal. As Cinderella featured a range of different shoes, from heeled pastel shoes for the stepsisters to Cinderella’s

famous slipper, donors could choose to contribute toward the cost of their favourite character’s shoes and watch their gift come to life on stage. Nearly £23,000 was raised. Monthly gifts paid by Direct Debit to the Artistic and Education Funds continue to provide a steady source of income, as do regular gifts from the Director’s Circle. Planned gifts of this nature allow Scottish Ballet to predict income levels and are therefore extremely valuable to forward planning.

Corporate support Quenby Hersh and Owen Thorne at the launch of Brooks Brothers’ Edinburgh store.
Corporate support
57% increase
Scottish Ballet succeeded in developing more support from the business sector in 2010/11 – an increase of 57%. The Company was delighted to welcome new sponsors – Reid, Brooks Brothers, BP and Exxon Mobil. Private bank Adam & Company, who sponsored 2009’s 40th Anniversary Tour, returned to sponsor the autumn triple bill Geometry and Grace, and as the year ended, they had also signed up to sponsor the spring 2011 production of Alice.
New corporate supporter American clothing retailer Brooks Brothers sponsored American dancer Owen Thorne, and a New Arts Sponsorship grant from Arts & Business enabled the company to support a second American dancer, Quenby Hersh. Throughout the course of their sponsorship, Quenby and Owen enjoyed a close relationship with Brooks Brothers and even stopped traffic at the company’s Edinburgh store opening by modelling in the window.
Graham Storrie, Adam & Company’s Managing Director said: “A high percentage of our clients are interested in the arts, and as keen supporters of the Scottish arts ourselves, we want to celebrate all areas of success in our country. We’re very proud to be a Scottish company, and we’re proud that Scottish Ballet brings skilled people together from all over the world.”
Furniture store Reid came on board as a sponsor in July 2010, supporting the winter tour of Cinderella and accompanying education activity. The sponsorship was the recipient of a New Arts Sponsorship Grant, supported by the Scottish Government in conjunction with Arts & Business Scotland, which resulted in Reid sponsoring Scottish dancer Kara McLaughlin.
“Reid is delighted to sponsor Scottish Ballet’s Cinderella and the education programme aligned to the tour,” said Ian Stewart, Managing Director of Reid. “With the company’s strong Scottish heritage and well-known family values, we feel passionate about working with the community and, in particular, giving the younger generation the ability to become culturally aware at an early stage of their development.” Scottish Ballet’s Education team undertook two primary school residences in Aberdeen with the help of support from Exxon Mobil in 2010 during the year’s winter season tour of Cinderella, and the Company has continued to have strong and fruitful relationships with long term sponsors, with children of Artemis employees attending a corporate dance workshop based on Cinderella in late November 2010.
Supporting Scottish Ballet
Trust and Foundation Support Scottish Ballet is enormously grateful to the charitable trusts and foundations that provide grants for different aspects of Scottish Ballet’s work. 2010/11 marked the final instalment of a five year partnership with the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. Through the dancers’ apprentice scheme, the Foundation funds three of the temporary contract dancers who join the Company for each winter season, offering young dancers valuable experience with a professional ballet company. Other programmes which benefited from grants received this year were the Associate Programme, creative dance workshops, and summer schools and the audio description programme.

Scottish Ballet 2010/11
2010/11 was another successful year for Scottish Ballet as the Company continued to deliver a dynamic programme of world-class dance and offer access to ballet to an increasingly broad audience.
Operating from custom-built headquarters at Tramway, Scottish Ballet continues to grow the scale, volume and ambition of its work, both for the stage and through its extensive education programme.
Scottish Ballet continues to develop its global audience through online presence, including through a new programme of live webcasts that offers audiences a previously unseen look at the work of Scotland’s national dance company.
