The United Ukrainian Ballet brought a performance of ‘Giselle’ to London, but 3 weeks before opening night, less than a quarter of tickets had been sold.

We reframed seeing this ballet as a way of protecting Ukrainian Arts & Culture.

Defiant Dancer is an art installation, recreating the defences seen around monuments across Ukraine, but protecting a living Ukrainian ballerina, outside the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

Media coverage from Defiant Dancer brought their story to millions.

Every performance sold out.

The UUB was subsequently booked for a five month international tour.
