Edgar Degas’s Ballet Rehearsal examines young ballerinas during practice, focusing on repetition, discipline, bodily labor, the female body, and modern surveillance rather than stage spectacle.

Degas’s The Blue Dancers combines ballerinas in blue tutus, backstage preparation, pastel layering, cropped composition, and self-directed gestures to explore discipline, labor, movement, and modern spectatorship.

Curran’s At the Theatre combines theatre boxes, audience, orchestra pit, artificial light, red velvet, golden railings, and a distant stage to explore spectatorship, social display, urban leisure, and the relationship between private and public space.
