  • Scottish Ballet to Take Over Televisions This Christmas with Two Special BBC Commissions
    PRESS RELEASE scottishballet.co.uk Scottish Ballet to take over televisions this Christmas with two special BBC commissions Scottish Ballet is delighted to announce that the 50th anniversary year will culminate with two special BBC commissions, which will see the company take over televisions this festive period. In a year of celebrations for Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet’s 50th anniversary comes to a spectacular close with the world premiere of CEO / Artistic Director Christopher Hampson’s The Snow Queen. The glittering new production will provide the stage for a special performance capture that will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC Four, and close the story on the Five Wishes campaign and a heartwarming documentary of the same name that will be broadcast on BBC One (Scotland) and BBC Scotland. The Snow Queen BBC Scotland audiences will be treated to a special performance of this new ballet as the glittering production takes over their homes, with a feature length screening. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved tale, The Snow Queen is a story of love and friendship. From the bustle of a winter’s market to the shivers of a fairytale forest, the production takes a journey to the Snow Queen’s palace and finds her surrounded by the icy fragments of an enchanted mirror. Guaranteed to transport the whole family to a place of wonder, The Snow Queen is choreographed by Christopher Hampson, in collaboration with multi-award winning designer Lez Brotherston. Set to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov, the score will be performed by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra.

    Catherine Bohart A comic with both a distinctive voice and a story you'd like to hear Steve Bennett, Chortle Awards: Winner: 99 Club Bursary Award 2018 Finalist: Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year 2018 Semi-Finalist: Amused Moose National New Comic 2017 Finalist: BBC New Comedy Award 2016 Finalist: Funny Women 2016 Semi-Finalist: Semi-Finalist: So You Think You’re Funny? 2016 Semi-Finalist: Laughing Horse New Act Competition 2015 Catherine Bohart is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor. Catherine started performing stand-up in 2015 and since then has enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks of UK and Irish comedy. In 2016, she was a finalist in both the BBC New Comedy Awards and Funny Women, drawing praise in the final of the former for having “a distinctive voice and a story you’d like to hear” (Chortle) and in the latter for being “pretty much the perfect comedy package” (Beyond The Joke). 2016 also saw Catherine and fellow comic Cally Beaton perform their show Catcall for a full run at the Edinburgh Fringe, enjoying packed houses and stellar reviews. The following year, Catherine performed as part of the prestigious Pleasance Comedy Reserve at the Edinburgh Fringe and, in 2018, she took her debut solo show, Immaculate, to the festival. An autobiographical hour about her life as the bisexual, OCD daughter of the Catholic deacon, Immaculate received widespread acclaim, the Times newspaper describing it in their four star review as “the sort of perfectly structured Edinburgh debut you always hope for and rarely get to see.” August 2019 saw Catherine’s second hour-long show, Lemon, enjoy a month of sold-out shows and excellent reviews.

    Don’t even think of applauding acts frenetically for nothing more than walking on. This makes the ensuing performance pointless. Excitement can only get lost. Worse than undeserved applause at the start, is loud clapping during a show. Not only does it waste valuable joke time in the strict confinement of a 60-minute slot, it also takes away from the Achtung carefully crafted narrative arc.
