Swan Lake Bath Ballet

Elite dancers from across the globe create a modern-day Swan Lake from their own bathtub Set to Tchaikovsky’s famous swan theme.

Swan Lake Bath Ballet was choreographed, filmed and post-produced completely remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic. The quirky choreography was performed in baths from New Zealand to South Africa, America to Hong Kong, Australia to the UK.

Swan Lake Bath Ballet was filmed on smart phones, with ‘innovative’ solutions such as a child’s scooter, piles of books, even a toilet plunger being co-opted to help stabilise and enable camera angles.

It is iconic in movement, epic in music and fun thanks to its setting; a memorable project made during Covid-19 that will make a huge splash.

I stumbled on this movie, while searching for the clip of the old prima ballerina with Alzheimers who heard the music again and it all came back. Grab your tissue if you watch this clip (click here).
