Kirkcaldy pupils set for ballet debut, dressed by Game Of Thrones’
Youngsters from a Kirkcaldy primary school are set to make their professional stage debut - dressed by Game of Thrones designer.
The Valley Primary pupils will appear in balletLORENT's Snow White at the Adam Smith in Kirkcaldy on Friday (March 13) and Saturday 14th.
Styled as wolves, owls and other creatures of the forest, the pupils, aged between six and 10, have been chosen to perform alongside balletLORENT's own dancers.
Their characterful costumes, in mellow shades of cream, yellow and brown, have been designed by Libby El-Alfy, who also worked on TV phenomenon Game of Thrones.
The P2-P5 pupils were selected for their enthusiasm and spirit following a workshop for 120 of them was led by balletLORENT dancers Gavin Coward and Debbi Purtill at the school. The young performers will appear in two scenes. With choreography by artistic director Liv Lorent, and music by Doctor Who composer Murray Gold, the children will be part of an impressive line-up of talent.
James MacGillivray, education and projects manager, balletLORENT said: "Taking part in a professional show gives children a chance to try something new and build important skills.
"They become more confident, creative, and better at working with others. Schools also see the value, with workshops that bring inspiration to both students and teachers."
Suitable for ages five plus this theatre version of Snow White retains all the classic elements of the original Brothers Grimm tale, which has been familiar to story lovers for over two centuries. Ticket information at the box office or onfife.com
