Sanctuary Queer Arts was approach by Scottish Ballet to consult on their project Safe to Be Me®.

“This innovative programme uses dance to introduce topics such as racism, homophobia, bigotry, ableism, and transphobia. Delivered in line with key Scottish Government targets to address these areas, the project engages with young people to explore themes that include identity, respect, acceptance, family diversity, and LGBTQ+ communities.”

The company are currently developing a secondary schools version of the project, and because of Sanctuary’s experience and expertise in developing queer-centric projects, and through our work with young LGBTQIA+ members of the Queer Young Team our expertise offered valuable insight to the team.

We hope to collaborate with Scottish Ballet again in the future.
