A Portrait of Marc Brew

A Portrait of Marc Brew is an intimate and highly personal dance film depicting the acclaimed dancer and choreographer in the studio. After seeing his work on stage and subsequently dancing with him for an extended period, Scottish Ballet dancers Lewis Landini and Jamiel Laurence approached Marc to create a film to show the character of the artist they had come to know.

Education

Alongside the original tour communities were invited to come together to create show openers for the performances.

'Brewband exists to make the audience see colours through new eyes,shapes and things that are taken for granted repurposed in an entirely new way. Job done- a beautiful anomaly.'

'Spectacular choreography and visually beautiful, the stage bursts into life and the ensemble grabs you. Taking over your eyes, heartbeat and your ears.'

"What we’re doing with our bodies here is nothing like I’ve done before. I thought I was fit, but I’ve discovered new muscles that ache at the end of the day and it’s shattered my preconceptions of what dance is in a great way. When I see a dancer respond immediately and physically to what I’m playing — which is really unusual — it makes me play better as I am not only aware of myself, the song and other musicians but of the dancers as well. I’ve already noticed after 4 days that I’m a better musician because of this process." - Jill O'Sullivan
