This documentary celebrates Scotland as a world leader in community dance. Structured around the 12 violin concertos of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, it follows choreographers Royston Maldoom and Tamara McLorg, weaving specially filmed documentary footage of an Aberdeen International Youth Festival dance project with reflections on the youth dance ‘explosion’ in Fife and Stirling in the 1980s. It includes contribution from people across the Scottish dance sector on the legacy of these extraordinary and influential choreographers and dance artists. Since those early years in Scotland, Royston Maldoom and Tamara McLorg have forged an international reputation working with marginalised and disadvantaged people in areas such as Ethiopia, Peru, Palestine, as well as Europe. In 2014, the Four Seasons project in the North East of Scotland brought them both back to Scotland for the first time in 30 years, to work on a large scale community dance performance that was part of the Commonwealth Games Cultural programme.
