SIM EP 253 Chops 108: The Crucible

In one of TWO Sunday Chops this week, Hannah grabbed some time with choreographer Helen Pickett, whose new narrative ballet The Crucible has its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival as part of Scottish Ballet's 50th anniversary celebrations. They talked about the enduring appeal of Arthur Miller's play, how easy it was to translate into dance and about work to get more women of colour on stage. And Megan Rapinoe. Because of course.
