As the world shut down in 2020, The Australian Ballet's dancers went from performing on the Sydney Opera House stage to dancing in the confines of their living rooms.

​

So we reimagined the annual Telstra Ballet Dancer Awards for social, creating six micro-ballets choreographed and filmed on custom-built 4×2 metre stages designed specifically for the mobile screen. Tiny stages for tiny screens.

​

From bespoke vertical sets to exclusive behind-the-stage content, every piece was crafted for a 9:16 audience. The result was ballet's smallest stage for its biggest audience, bringing viewers closer to the dancers than ever before – all from home.
