What’s next for Kimiko’s Pearl

This past June 2024, we proudly premiered Kimiko’s Pearl, our new ballet commissioned and produced by Bravo Niagara! and presented by the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. Bringing this vision to life on stage was an unforgettable moment, made even more special by the incredible response from our audience. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported us throughout this nearly four-year creative journey. 

“There are very few works of art that reflect the history of Japanese Canadians in this way… Christine and Alexis believe in the importance of conveying Japanese Canadian history and pride through art.” 

-H.E. Ambassador Yamanouchi, Embassy of Japan in Canada
