With the launch of the HKBALLET@HOME online channel in March 2020, Hong Kong Ballet continues to uphold the spirit of ‘Never Standing Still’, finding new ways to connect with ballet lovers in a digital age.
HKBALLET@HOME offers over 90 entertaining ballet-themed episodes, ranging from knowledge-based talk shows ‘ballet-blah-blah-blah’ and ‘Barre Classes Online’ to fun cooking and game shows like ‘Ballerina Chef’ and ‘Ballet 101’ for the general public as well as ballet lovers at all levels, garnering over 1.5 million views. HKB produced the turn(it)out virtual festival in early 2021, and continues to produce engaging and unexpected content on an ongoing basis. As we return to the theatre to present dance to live audiences, we will continue to impact our community digitally in exciting new ways.
