"London City Ballet is the modern-day iteration of the eponymous touring company that acquired considerable prestige towards the end of the 20th century Diana, Princess of Wales became its patron but had to fold due to unsustainable financial pressure in 1997. Less than three decades later, London City Ballet (LCB) was reborn under the artistic directorship of dancer, choreographer, teacher and remarkably astute entrepreneur Christopher Marney."
"Following the model of the original company, Marney's LCB is essentially a mid-size touring company, its mission to bring new and heritage work to mid-scale venues in the UK and abroad. London City Ballet's first season in 2024 was so successful it immediately attracted enthusiastic audiences and culminated with the award of Best Independent Company at the Critics Circle National Dance Awards."
London City Ballet was reborn under artistic director Christopher Marney as a mid-size touring company dedicated to presenting new and heritage work to mid-scale venues in the UK and abroad. The company’s 2024 debut season drew enthusiastic audiences and won Best Independent Company at the Critics Circle National Dance Awards. In its second year LCB expanded national and international touring and formed a partnership with the Baryshnikov Arts Centre in New York. The 2026 season includes UK premieres of works by John Neumeier and Glen Tetley, and will stage Neumeier’s Ghost Light, a piece originating from the Covid lockdown. A ghost light is a single bulb left on an empty stage as a symbol of hope during theatre closures.
