ACTOR, dancer, singer, writer, cabaret performer, raconteur, political activist (not least for LGBTQ+ rights and Scottish independence) – the list of Alan Cumming’s skills and accomplishments is as impressive as it is prodigious.
Now, at the age of 57, he is about to add “solo dance-theatre performer” to his shining CV. In collaboration with award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett (who is, perhaps, best known to Scottish audiences for his work on Black Watch), Cumming is creating Burn, a choreographed work reflecting on the life of our national Bard, Robert Burns.
