A Festival of New Works, for which 12 international choreographers create 12 world premiere ballets.
 

Challenge

  • Combine Repertory season while introducing a completely new style of ballet.

  • Capture the attention of a younger audience.

Solution

  • Leaning into the brand's core elements while introducing new shapes, transparencies, and color palette to bring vibrancy and intrigue.

  • While the new colors are less traditional, they are exceptionally vibrant in order to appeal to a younger audience. The styling of the dancers were also adjusted to a more casual and urban style which compliments the bold, modern design.
