An interesting insight ahead of Friday’s trip to the The Crucible. Thanks Matt!

Did you know that dancers use real paint in The Crucible? 🖌️🪣 Matthew Broadbent, Artistic Coordinator and former dancer in The Crucible, shares the origin story behind our limited edition t-shirts, which came about in studios when choreographer Helen Pickett worked with us to create the production in 2019. The Crucible t-shirts and other Scottish Ballet merch is available to order online and buy at tour venues when we’re performing (Edinburgh 1 - 3 May, Glasgow 22 - 24 May): https://basket.scottishballet.co.uk/136/13087 Capital Theatres - Festival Theatre, King's Theatre & The Studio The King's and Theatre Royal Glasgow #merch #limitededition #tshirts #tshirt #crucible #souvenir #scottish #ballet #merchandise
