A six-time national champion and world ranked Scottish Highland dancer, a former member of Ballet Arizona, and an honors graduate of ASU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Laura Carruthers develops uniquely beautiful and insightful projects in both theatre and film, that combine her abilities to direct, choreograph, perform, arrange music, and edit. A wild ‘n’ classy originality springs from her fusion of artistic styles and techniques, depth of vision, and collaborative performances with some of the very best in music, dance, and cinematography.

Her concert work, namely Fire & Grace, has sold-out local theaters and toured regionally. Her short musicals, Driven Celtic and Outside In, have screened nationally and abroad, also earning independent film festival nominations and awards. Each project, recorded and/or presented live, shares the inspiration of Celtic music pioneers, including Alasdair Fraser, Capercaillie, and Bad Haggis, industry-leading cinematographers, like James Chressanthis, ASC and Anka Malatynska ASC, and dance masters from Los Angeles to Montréal and NYC.

Most recently, an eclectic cast of twelve, all-star dancers from major companies and Broadway productions joined Carruthers at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA for filmed performances that energetically shape a new project called, Grace Fury. She looks forward to presenting this feature length media-scape that travels her thoughts, her discoveries, and the elements of her story on a breathtaking flight of dynamic choreography, multi-camera cinematography, musical ingenuity, and scenic highlights from her earliest films. This pinnacle work in fire and grace, ever true to artistic craft and purpose, is bound to move hearts and minds with the power of its courage, its authenticity, and its faith. Discover More
