Our challenge was to create an innovative digital experience that genuinely embodies the elegance and emotion of the Australian Ballet, while catering to a diverse audience with a wide range of needs and preferences.
The platform required the seamless integration of captivating storytelling, intuitive navigation, and visually stunning interface elements, whilst also integrating a complex 3rd-party ticketing system.
The mission was to build an engaging, unified experience that transcends the ordinary, allowing users to connect with the Australian Ballet on a deeper, more meaningful level.

Project Need
Through extensive user research and interviews, we established clear objectives and information architecture, guiding our design strategy. We employed an iterative process of design and refinement in multiple phases, overcoming a range of design and technical challenges along the way.
This meticulous approach culminated in a harmonious synthesis of form and function, delivering an immersive, accessible, and engaging user experience that resonates with users, drawing them into the enchanting realm of the Australian Ballet and leaving a lasting impression.
We took the challenge of bringing the elegance of ballet into the digital world head-on. Our comprehensive overhaul of the ticketing experience and seamless Tessitura integration allowed for a smoother, more intuitive purchase path.

The website also offers comprehensive education sections and Ballet TV where users can watch live streams or purchase videos. This novel approach provides a rich, immersive platform full of long-form content and captivating narratives, pushing the boundaries of what a performing arts website can be.
