The Music
The music for this Season’s World Stage film features the track Still Life by acclaimed British rock band The Horrors. The track is taken from their third full length release Skying, commended by the Guardian as “marvellous” and by the NME as a record that proves that the Southend quintet are “one of this generation’s most important bands”.

A very classy film clip. A lovely blend of Swan Lake and a nod to the gymnastics to come in 2012, with a superb pose on the balance beam to finish. Excellent.
Great news. Unfortunately, We will not be able to go to London to see " Sleeping Beauty" so it´s great to read that we will see Lauren in the cinema!!! Great!!! Thanks for the news.
BEAUTIFUL
