Snow White by balletLORENT

Edinburgh, Scotland, GB

When I was little, I used to go to the ballet every Christmas with my Mum, so I was so excited when balletLORENT invited us to see their take on Snow White at the Festival Theatre.

The ballet had been updated into a more grown-up and modern version of the story, with her actual mother playing the role of the evil queen and the dwarves replaced by miners who looked amazing in steampunk style outfits, dancing to contemporary metal music.

The set was beautiful with a giant dressing table filled with hidden compartments and drawers for the dancers to hide in.

In the second half of the performance, the table was spun around, transforming into the forrest and then the cottage where Snow White lived with the dwarves.

The show ended happily ever after with Snow White marrying the Huntsman and I was filled with inspiration to craft a jewelry & makeup box inspired by the dressing table from the set.
