dirac Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Q&A with Sophie Laplane about Scottish Ballet's new short film, "Dive." Quote Q: Tell us all about Dive – the inspiration, music, design and what you hope the audience will get from it… SL: The inspiration came originally after seeing a play called Art by Yasmina Reza, about a man who buys a white monochrome painting, and the way in which his friends react to it. It was fascinating how something so simple could provoke such a strong feeling within a group. From there I became interested in monochrome as an art form, and came across Yves Klein and his obsession with monochrome blue; digging a little deeper into Yves Klein’s life and work, to develop Dive from there.
