A behind-the-scenes talk by the Scottish Ballet artistic team about its production of Cinders, part of the Festival Theatre's Take Part programme.
Scottish Ballet are holding a talk on their production of Cinders at the Festival Theatre on Friday 18 December, and it's one of those chances to see how a show actually comes together. The session is led by the Scottish Ballet artistic team, who'll be lifting the curtain on the production and sharing behind-the-scenes insights into how Cinders was made, the choreography they've put together, and the music that carries it. It's a half-hour look at the work that happens before the curtain ever goes up.
The talk is part of the Festival Theatre's 'Take Part' programme, which is built around getting audiences involved with theatre for fun, for community, to get closer to the shows, or to pick up new skills. It's a good way to see the people behind the production talking through their process rather than just watching the finished result from a seat in the stalls. If you're interested in the making of a show, this is exactly that: the artistic team explaining the how and why of the production.
It's also worth knowing that the venue, run by Capital Theatres, puts a fair bit of work into making things accessible. Across their programming, they run relaxed performances, audio description, captioning, and British Sign Language interpretation, alongside touch tours, backstage tours, and an award-winning dementia-friendly programme. If you're planning a visit and have specific access needs, it's a good idea to check in with them beforehand.
