We are delighted to launch our new dance film Chimes of Change, created in partnership with English Heritage and its youth engagement programme, Shout Out Loud. 

Loosely inspired by Cinderella and shaped by wider themes of sustainability and the natural world, Chimes of Change was created in 2025 by National Youth Ballet Beyond Ballet® choreographers Grace Thompson and Anna Smith. The film is performed by disabled and non-disabled dancers from our NYB All in! Performance Company and was filmed on location at Kenilworth House.

This project builds on the success of our previous collaboration with English Heritage. Beyond the Plaques is an award winning dance film inspired by four extraordinary female pioneers: sculptor Eleanor Coade, author Frances Burney, poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning and astronomer Annie Maunder. The film celebrates creativity and endeavour, highlighting the need to amplify the voices of underrepresented women in history. It has been screened at film festivals around the world.
