‘The Shimmering Extraordinary’ is a powerful new film series for Scottish Ballet’s inaugural Safe To Be Me™ Festival. Fx Goby explores themes of belonging and acceptance through movement, from six unique perspectives, each performer sharing their story through intimate interviews and emotive routines encapsulating the power of dance in helping them embrace their extraordinary selves. This week Nowness premiered three films featuring Nikita Gold, a drag queen with Down’s Syndrome, Saul Nash who embraced his sexuality through dance and Hayaat Zahra, a trans woman who learnt to celebrate her femininity and cultural heritage through her dance practice.
