First Steps is a programme designed for children under the age of 8 as a way of experiencing ballet at the large scale in an accessible format. With a narrator and a shortened length these pieces have been key in developing a new audience for the company.

Ballet Now is a 5 year project supporting the development of emerging choreographers, composers and designers who show originality, insight and world-class potential by offering them a first opportunity to work on the largest scale. Supported by Birmingham Royal Ballet’s world-class resources and experience and a Creative Consortium of renowned industry leaders, we hope that ‘Ballet Now’ artists will ultimately create a legacy of new traditions, new talent, new ballets and new audiences.
