Co-created and directed by Natasha Gilmore and Robert Alan Evans.

Inspired by the Greek legend of Icarus, this is the story of a girl who doesn’t fit in, a girl who’s learning to fly. Washed up on a tiny island, she studies the birds, her only companions, and begins to work out her escape.

With unfolding wings, she soars up, up and away… with the world below getting smaller and smaller. This is what it is to be free and be at one with the wind.

Learning to Fly is about the power of imagination and the sheer determination that lets you fly when forces all around want to pull you down. The award-winning Barrowland Ballet use intricate choreography, wit and humour to tell this evocative new story.

"Natasha Gilmore's choreography explodes on the stage and demonstrates why Barrowland Ballet is one of Scotland's most successful contemporary dance companies." The Reviews Hub on Whiteout
