Antonia Maria Cramb
Antonia has lived in Crieff her entire life, prior to her training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, she was a Junior, Mid and Senior Associate at the Scottish Ballet Associates. In 2024, Antonia won the coveted Genée Gold Medal at the Fonteyn International Ballet Competition in London — the first ever Scottish winner. During her second year at RCS, she was offered a permanent Artist contract with Scottish Ballet and completed the third year of her BA degree remotely.
Throughout Antonia’s two years on the BA Modern Ballet program, she has gained more than just vocational ballet training. She has been pushed outwith her comfort zone in a variety of differing dance genres, guided to experiment her limits artistically and technically on and off stage, and has received a variety of performance opportunities across the UK.
Since joining the Scottish Ballet, Antonia has had the opportunity to partake in her first professional tour, The Nutcracker, consisting of 55 shows across 5 venues in the UK. Currently Antonia is in the midst of the Scotland tour of The Crucible playing the role of Susanna, and is excited to expand her repertoire further and for what the future holds.
Antonia says “My time on the program has been integral in shaping me into the person and dancer I am today. The relationships I have built throughout my time here, will always remain a huge part of my life and I can only thank both the talented faculty and my INCREDIBLE classmates from the bottom of my heart, for where I am today and showing me the beautiful side of ballet.”
