Get the Hex Dance Case Study
In this film, students from Royal High School and Broughton High School, both in Edinburgh, dance with silvery umbrellas to portray the 1.4metre hexagonal segments that are used in giant telescope mirrors - and the Earth-like planets and galaxies that astronomers study with these telescopes.
Dance development artist Joanne Thomson choreographed the piece whilst Craig Thomson filmed and edited using green screen technology for some of the shots.
Our partners and funders in the project were the Scottish Arts Council, Learning Teaching Scotland and the City of Edinburgh Council.
