Val Caniparoli (2010)

Still Life was created for Scottish Ballet by San Francisco Ballet choreographer Val Caniparoli. Set to two chamber scores by Uzbekistani composer Elena Kats Chernin, this work showcases Caniparoli’s distinctive dramatic yet sensual choreographic style which is rooted in the classical vocabulary but presented in a contemporary manner.
