Reviews
Scottish Ballet opened the night with Run For It, a fast-paced, athletic piece by Martin Lawrance that set the bar suitably high for an occasion of this stature. Beneath an imposing installation by Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Boyce, the dancers delivered the kind of leaps, lifts and leg stretches that left you in no doubt of this company’s quality.

Scottish Ballet’s brilliant piece is at once dynamic and frenetic, then sensuous and lyrical.

Scottish Ballet is brilliant at making technically demanding repertoire look fluid and effortless. Here its supreme team left us in no doubt that Run For It was a fiendishly difficult piece.
