Scottish Ballet.

Interview with Claire Robertson, soloist at the Scottish Ballet.
http://scottishballet.co.uk/images/reuse/spacer.gif

Claire is very busy working on Scottish Ballet&#39;s new production of The Nutcracker, but luckily we managed to grab her for a few minutes in between rehearsals.


1) Do you have a favourite web site?

I’ve only just recently got a lap-top, so haven’t used it much. I tend to only use it for emails at the moment.

2) What is your favourite ballet? Or role?

Out of the pieces I have performed in, I always try to find something out of them to make it my own. This means that no matter what I dance, I enjoy trying to bring something personal to the character. The first full-length role I danced with the Company was The Gypsy Girl in The Two Pigeons, which was a real highlight for me. I also really enjoyed dancing in the recent Autumn programme and am looking forward to The Nutcracker.

3) How do you relax away from the studio?

I like to relax by pampering myself; having a massage and going for a sauna. I also like having a nice meal and a glass of wine (or two&#33;) with friends. I find that clubbing is a good way of letting myself go.

4) What was the last film you saw? Did you enjoy it?

The last film I saw was My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I really enjoyed it as it was so funny and easy to watch. It’s the kind of film that you can just stick on and have a really good laugh.

5) What is your favourite meal/type of food?

I eat anything from a good old Sunday roast to a spicy South American dish. I really like Thai Fountain and Cottiers.

6) Do you find it easy or difficult to get out of bed in the morning?

I find it very difficult to get out of bed, especially in the winter as it’s so cold in Glasgow.

7) What made you take up dance as a career?

I always wanted to be a dancer right from when I was a child. I used to dance about all the time to pop music when I was young and couldn’t wait to be able to go to full-time college to study dance. I was inspired by the films Fame and Flashdance and actually choreographed a routine to Flashdance whilst at the Brownies&#33; I’m so pleased that I am able to do something that I love for my career.

8) Which is your favourite ballet company? – aside from Scottish Ballet of course&#33;

I enjoy watching a wide selection of dance. I am very open-minded and feel that you can learn a lot from viewing different companies and observing each ones&#39; own style.

9) What is or has been your favourite venue to perform in?

I like performing in Glasgow as it’s home, but the stage at Edinburgh Festival Theatre is fantastic to perform on because it is the biggest the Company tours to. I particularly remember performing in Sintra with Carmen as the stage was outside and you could see the mountains. Dancing under the stars was such a different experience. I really enjoyed the intimacy of Tramway as we were so close to the audience, which allowed you to enjoy the atmosphere.

10) What is your greatest extravagance?

Probably shopping&#33;

11) What was it like working with the painter Peter Nardini?

I really liked the paintings he produced as they weren’t posed as he had music playing in the background and I improvised the movement as I wished. This meant that they weren’t static and captured the essence of dance. He was a easy person to work with and I’m looking forward to working with him again soon. He had an exhibition of the paintings on recently and he was really pleased with the outcome as it was a great success.

Scottish Poetry.

A single quaver
of loosening ice
extends across the silence,
revives the air
with the almost forgotten song
of snow melting to water
and of water flowing
to reaffirm
as winter’s claw
holds a little longer,
although what was
is strong,
what will be’s
stronger.

yay an official scottish thread

*me starts to sing flower of scotland*


O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward&#39;s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O&#39;er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward&#39;s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward&#39;s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

0 Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward&#39;s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

[Skweeky]

Oh, I like &#39; Scotland the Brave&#39; better

*sings*


Hark when the night is falling
Hear&#33; hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro&#39; the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits
of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud
standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines
from fair maiden&#39;s eyes.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud
standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

.

Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the Kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming
for the homeland again.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud
standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

[Blythorama]

They wrote about the magificence which is Blyth, centuries before Blyth was born. I'm a bit scottish, but not much.



Blythe Was She, by Robbie Burns


Chorus.-Blythe, blythe and merry was she,
Blythe was she but and ben;
Blythe by the banks of Earn,
And blythe in Glenturit glen.

By Oughtertyre grows the aik,
On Yarrow banks the birken shaw;
But Phemie was a bonier lass
Than braes o' Yarrow ever saw.
Blythe, blythe, &c.

Her looks were like a flow'r in May,
Her smile was like a simmer morn:
She tripped by the banks o' Earn,
As light's a bird upon a thorn.
Blythe, blythe, &c.

Her bonie face it was as meek
As ony lamb upon a lea;
The evening sun was ne'er sae sweet,
As was the blink o' Phemie's e'e.
Blythe, blythe, &c.

The Highland hills I've wander'd wide,
And o'er the Lawlands I hae been;
But Phemie was the blythest lass
That ever trod the dewy green.
Blythe, blythe, &c.
