'I think of SDT as a family sized cottage industry who's driving force is a passion to create and perform dance that explores the human condition and what it is to be alive in the world today.' Janet Smith, Artistic Director

Vision
Dance speaks before and beyond words, allowing us to sense and feel our way into our thoughts.  It is visceral and visual, present and immediate, yet triggers the subconscious and the sense of shared consciousness we know in dreams.  Dance can uplift, inspire, tune our sensibilities and enrich our lives.

Scottish Dance Theatre seeks to:
- Create dance that is moving, thought provoking and has resonance in people’s lives.
- Be a seedbed for creativity.
- Bring a life-enhancing experience of dance to as many people as possible.

SDT’s programme includes work by Artistic Director, Janet Smith, as well as by internationally celebrated and emerging choreographers.  The repertoire is constantly evolving, pushing boundaries and expectations. The company has 9 dancers and 2 apprentice dancers and tours throughout the UK and internationally, with performances in China, Dubai and Italy.

'Live performance means the chance for real connection with an audience - something happens.' Janet Smith
