Honoring their roots while boldly looking to the future, Hong Kong Ballet celebrated their 45th anniversary by expanding its educational program. This wasn’t just a celebration—it was a reinvention. The campaign reimagines the beauty of ballet – inspiring and connecting to modern audiences.
At the heart of this transformation is Tutu Academy, a campaign designed to break free from ballet’s traditional mold. Drawing from the elegance of Degas’ ballerinas, the richness of Renaissance art, and the energy of hip hop, the film tells the story of an alien discovering his place through dance. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Hong Kong—+50 dancers performed at iconic locations, from university halls to the High Island Reservoir. The campaign reframes ballet as a universal language, celebrating self-expression and inclusion. Ballet isn’t just for the stage anymore—it is for the streets, the people, and the world.
