2025 REPERTOIRE ART DIRECTION

A dance of light and colour

A collage shows five ballet dancers in various costumes and poses, each set against distinct colorful backgrounds, including red, blue, and purple tones, highlighting the elegance and diversity of ballet.

SETTING THE STAGE

We set out to build a visual world that could flex across genres, eras and emotions. One that gave each production a signature look and feel, but collectively formed a unified and contemporary identity for QB25. The goal was cohesion without compromise.

Each show needed to stand on its own while still feeling inextricably linked to the same season.

We started with detailed moodboards to define each show’s tone, palette and emotion, shaping everything from casting to campaign rollout.



Over two full shoot days with PixelFrame and David Kelly, we captured teaser videos for all five shows.

A SYMBOLIC INTERPLAY

Stylised choreography, cinematic lighting and 3D projections brought each concept to life. Every frame, from colour grade to body language, was carefully crafted to reflect the essence of each show.

The campaign introduced a bold new tone for QB25: elegant, electric, and grounded in physicality. Each teaser captured the spirit of its production while building a unified identity for the season.
