The first edition, “Ballerinas in Red, 2020”, a very successful project
Ballerinas in Red is the first and only media project in Romania aiming to promote ballet and young ballet dancers, both professional and non-professional.
The first edition, that started early February and concluded late July last year, gathered 138 participants, 40,000 likes, over 3,000 comments and about 6,000 shares.
This is the first media project in Romania that highlights the current huge potential of the Romanian ballet school in general, stemming from the number of people passionate about classical dance and the interest raised within the wide audience.
Ballerinas in Red 2021, a romanian international project in partnership with International Theater Institute
In 1982 the Dance Committee of ITI founded International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29th April, the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), creator of modern ballet. The intention of the International Dance Day Message is to celebrate dance, revel in the universality of this art form, cross all political, cultural and ethnic barriers, and bring people together with a common language – dance.
International Theatre Institute ITI was created on the initiative of the first UNESCO Director General, Sir Julian Huxley, and the playwright and novelist, JB Priestly in 1948, just after the Second World War, and at the beginning of the Cold War, when the Iron Curtain divided the East and the West.
The aim of the founders of ITI was to build an organization that was aligned with UNESCO’s goals on culture, education and the arts, and which would focus its endeavours on improving the status of all members of the performing arts professions.
They envisaged an organization that created platforms for international exchange and for engagement in the education of the performing arts, for beginners and professionals alike, as well as using the performing arts for mutual understanding and peace.
