For the music lovers out there we have a tantalizing taster of some of Luke Sutherland’s original music composed for Whiteout.

We’ve just finished the penultimate week before we premiere Whiteout as part of DIG and then embark on sharing its life force with folk around Scotland! It’s the first Barrowland Ballet piece made for a conventional proscenium arch theatre for a while, in Tiger and Tiger Tale we are surrounded in a cage, The River […]
I am Kai- Wen Chuang, one of the dance performers in Whiteout, the new production of Barrowland Ballet. My highlight of last week was another dance artist, Jade’s birthday party in Grosvenor Café at Saturday night. Lots of folks, including her family, friends and the Whiteout team were there, gathered together from different places. People […]
Here we are, knee deep into our fifth week of rehearsals for Barrowland Ballets new piece Whiteout. Our bodies are working, creation is flowing, excitement is brewing for a premier on April 29th and 30th at Tramway, and I couldn’t be happier to be here. What a breath of fresh air it has been to […]

We are embarking on our 5th week of devising and rehearsals, yet Glasgow has felt like home since I first arrived. It’s a city […]
Following a successful bid to Creative Scotland’s Creative Traineeship programme we are looking to recruit a Dance Participation Artist Trainee. Our professional work is directly linked to our participatory work, and the two are inter-dependent with one inspiring the other. This position is an important role for the development of the company in extending the engagement […]
Three weeks to go. Since the score for Whiteout is to be pre-recorded, I’m spending more time in the studio away from the rehearsal space, suffering a kind of separation anxiety. We generated raw material for the show through hours of improvisation during which the dividing lines between (live) music and movement blurred. I was […]
It’s week three into the creation period of our new piece Whiteout and we are quite literally dancing up a storm – it’s been a whirlwind of devising, setting the structure of the show, making a film, getting to know the new dancers/making new friends and getting back into an upbeat routine of morning class and full dancing […]
