Scott discusses the gradual development of his interest in dance, his training with Dublin City Ballet and with Meredith Monk, and the founding of the Irish Modern Dance Theatre in 1991 to provide creative and employment opportunities for Irish dancers and choreographers in Ireland. Scott discusses the dance works he has created, his creative collaboration with other artists, and his ground-breaking work with victims of torture, which culminated in the production of the dance work The White Space. More broadly, the interview provides an interesting insight into the evolution of contemporary dance in Ireland. Duration 01:23:49.
