We are Dundee Rep and Scottish Dance Theatre.
Creative experiences are essential to life. We bring people together and build meaningful connections. People are at the heart of our story: our artists, creatives, staff, participants and audiences shape everything we do. Our work is grounded in collaboration, openness and a commitment to learning from the people and experiences around us.
Dundee Rep Theatre is a leading force in Scottish theatre, creating acclaimed and award-winning work that resonates far beyond the city. Led by Artistic Director Andrew Panton, recent productions include the 2025 premiere of Make It Happen, co-produced with National Theatre of Scotland and Edinburgh International Festival; the Scottish premiere of the Pulitzer Prize-winning August: Osage County; A History of Paper, winner of the Scotsman Fringe First and Musical Theatre Review’s Best Musical at Edinburgh Fringe 2024; and the world premieres of the new musicals No Love Songs and Oor Wullie.
Scottish Dance Theatre creates and tours bold contemporary dance across Scotland and around the world. Founded in 1986 and led by Artistic Director Joan Clevillé, the company brings together an international ensemble of dancers collaborating with renowned choreographers while championing emerging talent. Touring from Scottish village halls to major international venues and festivals, it has grown over four decades into Scotland’s flagship contemporary dance company.
Together, we create and present work with learning and participation at our core. Through our Engage programme, we work with communities to spark creativity and support learning and performance, and for more than 30 years have also been one of only two UK theatres providing dramatherapy for adults and families.
Our impact reaches far beyond the stage. For nine decades, our work has shown how creative experiences can shape lives, build meaningful connections and connect Dundee with audiences around the world.
At Dundee Rep and Scottish Dance Theatre, we believe high-quality artistic and creative experiences should be accessible to all. Our dedicated Engage team builds local and national partnerships, fostering learning, creativity and community performance. For 30 years, we have been one of only two UK theatres providing dramatherapy for adults and families, offering therapeutic mental health support in a creative, non-clinical environment.
Our impact is profound and far-reaching, extending locally, nationally, and internationally. Together, we are bringing Dundee to the world, shaping a vibrant cultural landscape that celebrates the power of the arts to transform lives and foster meaningful connections.
