At the age of 13, Giorgio Galli took his first ballet class in a small town in Northern Italy. Six years of rigorous training in Milan and London later, an audition for the National Ballet of Canada in Stuttgart, Germany would ultimately bring him to Toronto, where he now lives a life as a professional ballet dancer.
From breakfast to ballet class to his bike ride home, Galli gave CBC Arts intimate access into that life by strapping on a GoPro for an entire day — and filmmaker Jordan Lee crafted the footage into a minute a half. The result is essentially as close to a simulation of ballet dancer life as they come.
"Dancing is my life, a passion that I was lucky enough to make into work and I am grateful to be surrounded by beautiful and inspiring artists every day," Galli says. "Ultimately being onstage, performing to a live orchestra in front of thousands of people is one of the most rewarding, fulfilling and enriching part of my work."
