talenthouse - all creative

“My First Sleeping Beauty is a wonderful opportunity for English National Ballet to bring the magic of ballet to children across the UK, and potentially the world. It also gives us free reign to create a visual identity explicitly to appeal to children from 4 – 9 years old, which is very different from our normal branding which is black and white, atmospheric and glamorous. We turned to Talenthouse as we felt they had the contacts and the expertise to find the best possible artists and designers to create this new visual identity”

Louise Halliday, Communications Director, English National Ballet

English National Ballet is one of the world’s leading ballet companies; they tour the UK and the world with the classics, new works and one-act ballets. Their raison d’être is to take ballet of the highest quality to the widest possible audience.
