Polyphonia / Sweet Violets / Carbon Life: A Photo Gallery

Our lovely new collaborator Alice Pennefather was at the general rehearsal of the Royal Ballet’s new triple bill. Dark and moody, the program combines a revival of Christopher Wheeldon’s neoclassical landmark Polyphonia, with two new pieces: Liam Scarlett’s murder mystery ballet, Sweet Violets, and Wayne McGregor‘s all singing, all dancing Carbon Life.

With a twin brother flying high as a star of the Royal Ballet, Alice’s creative talents lie in image making. After studying photography at Falmouth College of Arts, she spent 6 years travelling and working abroad, focusing on scuba diving and filming underwater. She has recently returned to London and rediscovered her love of everything Ballet. Alice now works as a freelance photographer, and is a regular at the Royal Ballet General Rehearsals – photographing for us here at The Ballet Bag.
