Fairytales and magical happenings...

London Children's Ballet 2011 Designs.

After being shortlisted for the LCB 2011 commission for 'Rumplestiltskin' I decided to design like never before... and pretty quickly realised that Wimbledon didn't quite prepare me for the reality of designing for 'pretty' ballets! Ignoring everything I'd ever been told not to do and avoiding all concepts, i was inspired purely by images and text rather than a concept- scary territory for a concept loving Designer! So here are the images that inspired me and the final 4 designs I came up with... enjoy!

Rumplestiltskin.

Miller's Daughter as the Queen.

Degree Show

The culmination of the most intense 3 years of my life. Late nights, killer deadlines and repetitive strain injury care of the paintbrush but man I'm sad it's over! The past three years have been incredible and I have have met some of the best friends and most talented Designers anyone could wish to meet... thanks to everyone who has made it amazing, particularly Alice Speak who is not only a wonderful Designer but a fab friend who has constantly helped me throughout- i'm so sad our uni time is over!
