Calum Noah
The Very First Sword Dance
Where,
when and by whom was the highland sword dance first invented? We think
it was danced by Noah's son Calum, when the Ark hit dry land. Calum
Noah takes a playful look at the origins of the sword dance, telling
a long-forgotten tale from the Isle of Skye.
Animator Catrìona Black takes up her virtual paintbrush to
create a watery world of colour and magic. The music is composed and
performed by award-winning concertina player, Simon Thoumire, and
the script is by Mairead Ross from Skye.
