An Olympic Dream and Poppy

The London Ballet Company

A double bill of dance presented by The London Ballet Company

Poppy

Poppy starkly portrays the havoc wreaked by global war on ordinary people. Seen through the innocent eyes of the child Poppy, we follow a family struggling to come to terms with the cataclysmic turn of events of 1914, as they seek to do their duty and rally to their nations cause.

An Olympic Dream

Inspired by the Olympics, we zip, through the eyes of an inspired child's eyes, from the origins in Greece to a packed metro train on a journey and through to the athletes in training. Newspapers proclaim the great event and the flame nears its' journeys end......At last, the opening ceremony. A proud moment. Let the games begin!

The London Ballet Company is vibrant and creative, whose mission is to bridge the gap between aspiring dancers, young professionals and a dance company. The productions personalise modern ballet performances nationally and internationally with original works, focusing on current events and trends of topical interest.
