The lake is a pool of light. The strong, graceful Odette captivates us, surrounded by arching backs, spiralling arms and mesmerising formations. David Dawson’s daring, visceral choreography from Swan Lake is perfectly paired with the rich, romantic Tchaikovsky score in this short film, The Swan, directed by Eve McConnachie. With an all-female cast led by Constance Devernay-Laurence, The Swan is a powerful showcase of our dancers’ strength and connectivity.

With 28 doors and 36 dancers, Indoors is a playful work by Sophie Laplane, set to Mozart’s ‘Papageno, Papagena’. Rehearsed via Zoom and recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown, this short film explores ways we can open our doors to new possibilities, all in Laplane’s distinctly unique style.

Two young people discover each other as they explore a labyrinthine derelict Glasgow swimming pool. A high-energy contemporary dance piece shot in the emptied Govanhill Baths in Glasgow.

The dancers in Breathless are symbols of the themes that run through every relationship, such as balance, power, trust, and greed. The film is created as an infinite loop and shot in a fully enclosed circular space, reflecting the cyclical nature of life and relationships. Scottish Ballet Short Film.
