Blog 2: The Best Concert Ever

Image
  Hi everyone Today I am going to share with you some of my best memories. I remember one day in 2018, one of my best friends came to tell me that she was inviting me to Camila Cabello's concert, which for me was very exciting, since I had never been to a concert before. For us that year it was a tradition to listen to music at all time and that year we listened to the songs of this artist a lot. Camila Cabello is a pop singer from the United States and also she is Mexican and Cuban descent, who began her musical career in a group called "Fifth Harmony", but after a few years she separated from it and began her solo career. On October 18, 2018, I couldn't handle the excitement and anxiety I felt inside the Movistar Arena. Our seats were in the upper stalls, which allowed us to see the artist quite close. Before Camila's show, there was a Denise Rosenthal performance, which was very good, as she dances very well. The moment Camila took the stage, the whole atmosphe...

Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

Image
Hi everyone Spain is one of the countries in Europe that I like the most, it is the fourth largest country and one of the economic powers of the continent, it is made up of autonomous communities, it shares borders with France and Portugal, in which there are two predominant languages, Spanish and Catalan. The typical dance is Flamenco and among his typical meals we find Paella. In this country there are places such as the Casa Batlló, the Sagrada Familia, the Gothic Quarter, the statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree, the Plaza Mayor, among many other very touristic places, where the architecture is the most impressive. Spain is one of the countries that I would most like to be able to visit, I would even love to be able to live in Madrid or Barcelona, ​​since I find their culture very beautiful, besides that in this country the arts and architecture are quite appreciated, especially the performing arts, which is what I am studying, so my work would be highly valued. I really hop...

Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studing this semester

Fausto. Pandur Theaters, 2014. Hi everyone, One of the classes that I liked the most this semester is Scenic Design Workshop III, since it is in this class where all the knowledge that is seen in the other classes is put into practice.  This semester we have seen everything related to post-dramatic theater, how it begins to relate what happens on stage with the public, how design areas begin to evolve, showing things on stage that cannot be seen in other types of theater, as for example, the lighting elements, as they appear on the scene. It also begins to see different activities on stage at the same time, generating different images on stage.  Although at the beginning of this semester it was very difficult for me to understand this type of theater, I can say that with the second project I managed to understand it, that is why I like this class, because we are always presented with new challenges and it is very entertaining for me to design costumes and scenery.  Thank ...

Blog 7: An expert in my field

Je nny Beavan on the set of Cruella This is my favorite dress Hello everybody, Today I am going to talk about a designer that I met a few days ago, and that due to her work in the wardrobe I began to admire a lot. I am talking about Jenny Beavan. She was born in England in 1950. During the 1970s she worked in theater productions and then began her career as a costume designer in the cinematographic area. Some of the films in which she has designed are Mad Max: Fury Road, A United Kingdom, A Cure for Wellness, Christopher Robin, Dolittle, Cruella, in the latter it was where I met her. I really like her work in the live action of Cruella, since all the great dresses that Emma Stone uses are a set of historical references and the time in which the film is set, especially the one seen in the gif, a dress with a long train inspired by the dresses of Marie Antoinette. In general, she is a designer who deserves all my admiration and who has become a benchmark for me. Thanks for reading, I hop...

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 💙
