Kohei Iwamoto
Kohei Iwamoto joined Royal New Zealand Ballet at the start of
2010. He started ballet at the age of 11 in Japan. His talent was
evident and he received a scholarship to further his training at
The Australian Ballet School.
A career highlight for Kohei was performing the role of a tourist
in The Meridian Season of Carmen as he has a passion for
playing comical roles. In 2011 he performed the roles of
Pinocchio and the adventurous puppet Arlequino in
Pinocchio in TOWER Tutus on Tour, and Bluebird
and Prince's Friends in The Meridian Season of The Sleeping
Beauty. 'Bluebirds (…Kohei Iwamoto) shimmered like flutes.' -
