MARTIN CREED - BALLET WORK NO. 1020

Directed, choreographed and composed by Martin Creed

Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed’s funny and thoughtful Work No.1020 comes to the Traverse after its sell out world premiere in London last year. Using video and music composed by Creed and played by his band,Ballet Work No. 1020 is performed by five dancers, who are restricted to using the five core classical ballet positions, each of which are ascribed a musical note.

By limiting the dancers to the five positions, Creed establishes a tight framework in which to examine the changing effects of time, speed and direction. A major solo exhibition by Martin Creed is also showing through the festival at the Fruitmarket Gallery.

Contains scenes of an adult nature.
