“Arcadia shows the burgeoning talent of yet another emerging female choreographer, Ruth Brill… She is certainly on the rise.”

Graham Watts, Critics’ Circle

“Brill is establishing a career as a choreographer. Peter and the Wolf shows a sharp eye for movement and storytelling.”

Zoë Anderson, The Independent

“Brill's Peter and the Wolf is a gem of a dance – it's funny and packed full of character and yet still ensures a great deal of technical skill from its cast.”

London Children’s Ballet presents a fresh interpretation of the much-loved fairy tale Snow White.
.
Snow White is so named because she is born in the midst of a raging snowstorm. Nine years later, a new and frightening force has entered the palace. The King has married again. Filled with jealousy by Snow White’s beauty, the evil Queen and her Raven accomplice plot to kill her. Yet our heroine narrowly escapes time after time, helped by some new friends.

ABOUT LONDON CHILDREN’S BALLET
LCB’s annual West End productions are an ideal way to introduce younger audiences to ballet and classical music. Performed by an all-child cast, the star quality of the dancers aged 9–16 and brilliantly told stories make LCB ballets a sell-out success year after year, popular with children and adults alike. The productions are set to stunning, original classical scores and played by a live orchestra.
