The truth is that I have only been to one concert in my life. It was Francisca Valenzuela concert, I think it was in 2017, I don't remember very well. I heard on the radio that Francisca Valenzuela would do a concert in my city (Curicó), I immediately told my mom that we should go and we bought tickets. Just that year I had started to listen to Francisca's music a lot, so I was very excited to listen to her music haha xd.  The day of the concert we arrived very early, and we managed to be among the first rows. Without doubt it was an incredible experience, since Francisca Valenzuela played almost all the songs alone with her piano, which made if feel very intimate and exciting. My mom loved it and she remembers this day when we went. I think being with my mom was very nice, because for both of us it was our first concert and we enjoyed it very much. I would love to go to many concerts, especially Illapu, one of my favorite Chilean bands. I hope that soon there will be concert a...

 It is very difficult to choose just one country xd, because I would love to travel all over the world. If I had to choose one it would be Israel, but only because the dance company I like is there. The truth is I don't know much about the country, only that they are one of the leaders of immunization against covid hahaha xd, and I've seen on TV that they have some conflicts with some countries. I would like to be there and be part of Batsheva Dance Company, because it is my favorite dance company, so it would be a dream to be there. I'm not lying that I'm a little scared, because of the conflicts in the country, however I think it is a very different country from Chile and I would like to know and learn from this culture. I would like to live in Israel, but not forever. I dream of living in a European country and continue my life there.

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...

Juliano Nunes, born in 1990 in Brazil. He studied at the Brazilian Conservatory of Dance in Rio de Janeiro, furthered his studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Mannheim and was accepted as an apprentice at the Karlsruhe Ballet. His professional career began the following year, when he was hired by the company.  Juliano has worked as a choreographer for the Theater Opera de Paris and the National Ballet of Canada. He directed Maria Khoreva, soloist dancer of the Mariinsky Theatre of Russia a nd before the pandemic he created a piece for the AcostaDanza company in Cuba.  I like him very much as a dancer and choreographer, because he mixes classical ballet technique with contemporary dance. Something I really like and try to do when creating or dancing. I also think he is a reference for me because he is Latin American and I feel a little closer to him. 

The truth is that I really like photography. Since I was a kid I always liked to take pictures of everything I saw, I used an old camera of my sister's haha. When I was 15 years old my parents gave me a semi-professional camera with which I still take pictures, working I was able to buy different lenses to improve and experiment in photography.  This photograph means a lot to me, he was a boy who was dancing in a school performance, and in his face you can see the nervousness before dancing. For me it was very meaningful because I felt that he was going through the same thing that happens to me before dancing. I took the picture in 2018 and since then it is my favorite picture. I am very interested in portrait photographs of people, I feel like you can see their story through their face. 

Hi everyone. Choosing a favorite food is a bit difficult haha because I like a lot of things, like pizza, sushi and many other foods. but to be honest my favorite is french fries. I really think I could eat them every day, I like them a lot because almost everything can be accompanied with fries hahaha. plus they can be cooked in many ways.  I actually eat a lot of fries, at least once a week. So together with my boyfriend we made an investment and bought an air fryer xd, to make them a little healthier and not feel so guilty after eating them.  I think since I was little I love fries, in fact every time I travel to my parents house, my mom waits for me with fries because she knows I love them haha.  Bye, remember to drink water. <3 

Hello! Today i am going to talk about my favorite piece of technology. It was difficult for me to choose one because i have many technological devices but i'm going to choose my cell phone. I have my cell phone for three years and i use it to send messages, listen to music, take pictures and to see my social networks but now we are in quarantine and i use it more for to see my family and my friends and we communicate by video call.

I think that i use my cell phone all day and now more because i need communicate with my family. I like my cell phone because i can do a lot of things and i think my life would be very difficult because i am very used to using my cell phone.
