‘The movement itself is universally superb, shifting constantly between harmony and dissonance, beauty, sensuality and comedy’

The National 

'Dive is a new venture for me into the world of cinematography, immersing the viewer in a world of monochrome blue and the empty white space, inspired by the visionary ideas of the artist Yves Klein.’

 

‘From stillness, we dive into the complexity that lies beneath the surface of simplicity; drawing the viewer in to a world of infinite possibilities and the unexpected, where questions are posed but not answered. The film is the result of an exciting artistic collaboration with James Bonas, co-creator, Oscar Sansom, film director, the ever-versatile Scottish Ballet dancers, the ever-inventive Scottish Ballet technical department and the Scottish Ballet music department.’
