Scott Davie (Piano)
Grand features the piano as a centrepiece in a movement and music collaboration using the piano favourites of the choreographer’s childhood as the stepping off point.
The iconic image of the piano was the driving force and inspiration behind the ballet GRAND, as choreographer Graeme Murphy explored his passion for the piano through a journey into the heart of this remarkable instrument.
With pianist and recording artist Scott Davie, chemistry was created between pianist and dancer, taking the audience on a journey into the fascinating repertoire of the piano.
GRAND offers a sampler of 18 piano vignettes ranging from beloved miniatures through avant-garde byways to create a charming listening potpourri.
Graeme Murphy's work for GRAND reunited the creative team from Ellipse and Air and other invisible forces in a compelling collaboration exploring the dynamic in the relationship between dance and the piano. For centuries the great composers have showcased the versatility of an instrument capable of musical mood swings from delicate court minuets to the smokey blues of the jazz bar through to the grand classics played in the world of the concert hall.
