In March 2017, the Brighton Festival producers asked Miss Rusbatch to create and train a small choir of 8 children. The choir would go on to perform on stage at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, alongside the hugely talented performance artist Meow Meow for her Brighton Festival performances of 'Souvenir'.
Johnny, Sophie, Joshim, Grace (Year 6), Cai, Dolly (Year 5) and Ernie and Phine (Year 4) rehearsed and performed like professionals. Their custom-made costumes were shipped over from Australia which helped the children to slip into character, representing the souls of children and the angels of youth whose lives once touched the fabric of the Theatre Royal's rich history.

Brighton Festival Programme Description
Created by Meow Meow in collaboration with composers Jherek Bischoff and August Von Trapp, musical direction Jherek Bischoff & design by Andrea Lauer.
A fantastical song cycle on a half-remembered misreported history of Brighton's Theatre Royal.
Actress, singer, dancer, Meow Meow is a cabaret diva of the highest order. Her kamikaze performance style has thrilled and inspired audiences globally with her shows The Little Match Girl and Apocalypse Meow and An Audience with Meow.
Hard to classify, her collaborations span artforms and genres: Pink Martini, Barry Humphries, Symphonies and Philharmonic Orchestras and Amanda Palmer and the Dresden Dolls to name a few.
For this exclusive Brighton Festival performance, Meow Meow joins forces with the Orchester der Kleinen Regiment to summon the ghosts of Brighton's Theatre Royal, past, present and future featuring original collaborations with composers Jherek Bischoff, August von Trapp, and The Lilliputian Octet
