Scottish Dance Theatre 

founded as a grassroots community company in 1986, has evolved into Scotland’s flagship contemporary dance company. Rooted in Dundee, a city with a proud industrial heritage and surrounded by nature, farming, and fishing communities, we are dedicated to our art form and the people we share it with. We collaborate with artists worldwide, bringing our work to remote village halls in the Scottish Highlands, opera houses in South America, art festivals in Europe, and local schools, prisons, and shopping centres

Meytal Blanaru

is a Brussels based choreographer, dancer and the founder of Fathom High Dance Practice. Since creating her first solo Lilly in 2008, she developed a personal movement research that deeply altered the way she moved and perceived the body. Inspired by the Feldenkrais method, her curiosity to create a fusion between Feldenkrais and dance led her to slowly build a movement technique which she calls Fathom High, which serves as a base for all of her artistic endeavors. In 2011, she created her second solo Aurora, which was selected to the prestigious AEROWAVES Platform in 2015, and toured extensively across Europe, Asia and the Middle East (2011 - 2018). Between 2015 and 2018 Meytal created a trilogy of creations that deals with the theme of memories: Sand, a piece for 10 young dancers, commissioned by the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance; Anitya, a piece for 8 young dancers, created in 2017, commissioned by DanscentrumJette/Danske platform We Were The Future that in 2018 was selected as the winner of the French CDCN Co Production award. In 2021 Meytal was invited to create Ray - a commissioned piece for The Scottish Dance Theater.
