Each day, a ballerina\u2019s every movement and action are questioned. The audience, or an external perspective, sees ballet as effortless, delicate, and an enchanting form of art. While a dancer loves what they do, behind the closed curtain can lie a world of pain (emotional, mental, and physical), sacrifice, and self-sabotage.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Extreme lights and darks are incorporated to portray these two perspectives. The darkness symbolises the experiences of physical damage, and fierce competition, while the light is a symbol of the grace and beauty of the audience\u2019s perspectives, and the delicate nature of the costumes worn by the dancers. In this work the movement of the dancer is captured in a ghostly manner, sometimes making it seem like there are multiple dancers. In those, the dancer looks back at herself, seeing the pain and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>We were also thrilled to see Eva Litosh\u2019s Year 7 portrait work that she completed in class and as part of her assignment in term 1 selected to hang in the window of the Bellevue Gallery.
