Ballet Changed My Life:
2006 90′ Ballet
Channel 4
Channel 4 and Diverse joined forces with the Birmingham Royal Ballet and Youth at Risk to set young people in the West Midlands a challenge: to perform in Kenneth Macmillan’s Romeo & Juliet.
The closed world of ballet was opened up for 200 untrained but enthusiastic young people to turn their lives around through the demanding discipline of ballet.
3 x hour long documentaries, BALLET CHANGED MY LIFE: BALLET HOO, which followed the 200 young people for eighteen months, culminated in a final film capturing the excitement of an extraordinary performance of Kenneth Macmillan’s ballet, ROMEO & JULIET.
