Northern Ballet X V&A Museum

We've collaborated with the V&A - the world's leading museum of art and design - to create a new film ahead of the world première of our new ballet Geisha.

Choreographed by Kenneth Tindall with music by Alexandra Harwood, Geisha tells the remarkable story of Okichi and Aiko, two young geisha bound by vows of friendship, whose lives are painfully torn apart in a collision between East and West.  

In our new film dancer Ayami Miyata, whom the role of Aiko is being created on, performs in the stunning setting of the V&A Museum ahead of their upcoming exhibition - Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk.
