POST 7: HOW CAN YOUR MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

I think this is something that people always ask when they know that someone studies arts or in my case dance, they always question how art contributes to make the world a better place. 

I believe that art and dance in particular helps people to be more conscious with their bodies, to feel free and to be better people.  I also believe it helps people escape from their realities and simply enjoy movement, movement which for me is life. It's hard to think about how I would help this change, I think I would do it in trying to empower people, to train people to have a better quality of life and better health. 

I also believe that art helps to express feelings and show social inequalities, looking at it that way I believe that art is highly political, and being an artist is a political position. 


It is interesting what is emerging and how this question is posed, because I think there is always a different answer and that is beautiful, because it means that we are changing and evolving.

Post 3: A day to remember

Imagen
 I remember perfectly well that day. It was the third performance of a dance show with which we toured the Maule region. I remember that for that tour we had a creative process of a year to create the work, after that many hours of rehearsal to achieve what we wanted.  The day was very sunny in 2017 and we had to dance in the square of the town of Romeral, a town located north of Curico. People began to arrive very early to see us and enjoy the play. By the time the show started, the square was full of people and mostly children. At the end, a little boy came up to me with his mother to ask me for a picture, since he loved the way I danced and he told me that he really liked to dance and that his dream was to be a dancer. At that moment I was very excited, because I felt that I had been the inspiration of someone else, and even more of a child, which made me remember when I was little and I just liked to move and jump from one side to another. It was a very beautiful moment an...

POST 7: Changes to your Study Program

Imagen
 I think that when I first saw the curriculum for my career I did not fully understand it, and now that I am in my career I still do not understand it. In my opinion, there are areas that really do not serve much or at least they are areas that are not very useful for what I want to do in my career as a dancer. Another issue is that the duration of the career is very long, all content and subjects can be easily summarized in about 3 years, as is done in other dance schools around the world. However with covid these contents have been dilating even more, either because we have fewer classes or simply are things that can not be done virtually.  In relation to infrastructure, I think we need a new building with the real capacities and dimensions to have spacious dance halls, and many more rooms in order to not adapt spaces to create rooms, but to build them from the beginning focused on dance.  The use of technology does not seem very relevant to me, although the new acquisi...

POST 4: A person I would like to meet

Imagen
 I think the person I would like to meet is Maria Khoreva, a 21 year old Russian dancer. My desire to meet her comes because she is the youngest dancer to become a soloist at the Mariinsky Ballet.  She looks like a very disciplined person and passionate about what she likes, that's something I highlight and try to imitate from her. Khoreva was born in St. Petersburg, and at the age of 10 she entered the famous Russian ballet school Vaganova.  She managed to enter the professional Mariinsky Ballet Company at the age of 18 and signed as an ambassador of the famous Nike brand. I highlight her personality, perseverance and the work she puts into her career. I hope one day I can meet her and see her dance live, which must be a great show and truly a luxury.  Maybe the world of dance will bring us together at some point in life haha xd.  Bye.
