DANSOX and The Peter Darrell Trust present: Peter Darrell Rocks!
Founding Director of Scottish Ballet, Peter Darrell’s short life was brim-full of ‘firsts’ – one of these is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2024. He created the first ballet commissioned for television (House Party, 1964, music from Les Biches by Francis Poulenc), and his Mods and Rockers, 1963, is widely regarded as being the first ballet set to contemporary rock (the music of The Beatles); not forgetting, choreographing for Hammer Horror films, and for the elephants in Billy Smart’s Circus!
