Blog 6: How can your Major/career make the world a better place

Image
Lighting sketch Hi everyone The truth is the first time that I ask myself this, since my purpose or aspiration was never closely related to making the world a better place. Now thinking about it, one of the changes that I can make through performance design is to generate another appreciation of the arts at a general level, since my field of work expands to all areas of the show, and it is through this that I can get closer to people and generate an interest in the performing arts, which in general in Latin America are not highly valued. Another change that I can make throughout my career is the reflection that is generated in the public through the performing arts, which is one of the main purposes of my discipline, to make the public think about what they see on stage. Finally, I would like to entertain and amaze people who watch my performances. Thanks for reading, I'll keep designing while listening to Dua 💙

Blog 5: A photograph you like

Image
 Here very casual This photo brings back many memories of beautiful moments. It was taken by my best friend on a beach in the Laguna Verde sector, which is located near the city of Valparaíso in February 2020, that mean, for my last summer vacation before the arrival of the covid-19. It was a pretty good summer, since all the trips that took place during February were with my friends. The image shows in the background the beautiful beach of the place at the beginning of the sunset and in the center of it, me thinging i'm a model. What I like the most about this photograph apart from the memories and the sensations that it reminds me is that it was the first photograph which I feel comfortable showing my love handles, since from a very young age my body has always been a problem subject for me, so the fact that I liked this photo was a certain acceptance of my body. Thank you for reading and I hope you have listened to Dua Lipa this week 💙

Blog 4: A meal or food you really like

Image
I love completos The food I love the most in this world is the completo with fries. I like the completos in all their versions, Italian, dynamic, avocado mayo, tomato mayo, etc. My favorite is the dynamic one, since it consists of bread, sausage, american sauce, sauerkraut, tomato, avocado and dressings, and I like it better if it is accompanied with French fries with a lot of ketchup. I really like the complete ones since I have so many good and happy memories eating them as a child, such as birthdays, afternoons after school with friends, outings with my dad or eating them for lunch on the bus when I was traveling to the south. And especially because they are very delicious.  I think it affects my health more than it should, especially if you eat them very often because the main ingredient is sausage. Thank you for reading I recommend you to eat completos listening to Dua lipa 💙

Blog 3: My favorite piece of technology

  My cellphone Hi, everyone! My cellphone is my favorite technological object because it is an external organ of my body (no, it is a lie haha) but it is the technological device that I use the most, it accompanies me 24 hours a day.  I use my phone for everything, to do work, look for information and references for the University, to read novels or pdfs, but I use it the most is to spend my free time and have company, for example listening to music while I finish work, talking by videocall with my friends and watching series on Netflix. Using my phone affects my life positively and negatively, since in times of pandemic it has helped me a lot to maintain contact with the outside world and to kill the boredom of being in quarantine, but it negatively affects my health from spending so much time observing the screen.  I admit that I do recommend the use of a cellphone, since it contributes and facilitates some of our daily tasks and obligations, apart from helping a lot to...

Parts of one of my desing work Costume sketch      Scenography sketch Hi everyone! When I was a child my dream job was to be vet and my dream was to work in a big zoo and take care of many animals mostly elephants. But everythings change when I realized didn't like wounds. Before, I applied to the university, I was sure that what I wanted to study was Performance Desing because I liked the idea of bringing to the real world everything that I imagine. That's why my second option was Dising and my third option was Industrial Desing. Finally the list ends with Biology and Marine Biology. Since I enter the career everything has been equally fun and stressfull. Ihave learned a lot about the composition of space, scenography, costume, etc. Once I'm done with my career I would like to work in the biggest theaters in Europe and in more than one movie. I would like to be great designer and work in the three areas of my job, especially in escenography and costume.  Thank you f...
