TutuMucky
In 2017, Botis received his first commission from Scottish Dance Theatre under former artistic director Fleur Darkin.
Powerful and complex, TuTuMucky explores how we’re shaped by the world around us, searches for peace in chaos, and celebrates revolt against the regimens of modern daily life. Blurring the boundaries between ballet, contemporary, and hip-hop technique, this new work challenges traditional convention to offer a distinctively innovative form of dance. A fresh, rhythmic, and explosive journey to places both familiar and strange set to an original musical backdrop by beat producer Torben Lars Sylvest.

“Seva challenges and deconstructs the accepted ballet presentation, dancers in dirty-looking tutus perform a muscular, tribal work that has both passion, control and abandon in equal measure”
