A series of performances and installations commissioned by LIFT as part of their 2003 Family Friendly season, The (once in a blue moon) Ball transformed the whole of BAC into a spellbound winter wonderland in the middle of a London summer.

Created for children aged 6 to 10, the evening began with a ritual of the children putting their parents to bed, before going out for an evening of adventure, entertainment and dancing.

Originally produced in June 2003.
