Summary/Abstract: The fascination for the painter of ballerinas made me approach this topic, a topic that becomes the basis of a thorough research and, at the same time, materializes in a performance with syncretic valences. Thus, carefully going through the ballerina paintings by Edgar Degas, the idea of a story appeared in an instant, a real treasure that houses all the poses a ballerina goes through, from preparation - warm-up - studies - rehearsals - backstage - performance. Coincidentally or not, chronologically or not, this discovery/observation...I consider worth researching and why not explored and materialized in a show, which brings to fruition the collaboration between the performing arts: music, dance, painting and scenography. Starting October 2023, Pro Napoca Art and Sport Association has operated as an open laboratory for the students who attend its ballet classes. Through the interference of the arts, they participated in experiences and experiments from the perspective of the ballerina, which took place within the DegasDans project. Ballerina Diary, to be completed with the performance of the same name, at the end of April, 2024.
