Scottish Dance Theatre is seeking an Asian Male Performer for co-production with Stellar Quines and Royal Lyceum Theatre

We are casting a lead male dancer/performer role for an upcoming production of The Lover, a unique collaboration between Royal Lyceum Theatre, Scottish Dance Theatre and Stellar Quines.
