LEVEL 4 - Post 9 (week 12) CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hellooooooooooooooooooo my bloggers ! It's nice to greet you again. Today I will talk about changes that could be made to my study programme. To begin I want to tell you that in my career we study the following subjects: Modern Technique, Technique Conyemporany, Ballet, Improvitation, Music and Space, and others teorics subjects. The truth, is that we stay all day in the University... Ours day begins at 8:30 and finally at 18:00 aprox, Being in this place most of my day is very tiring and it generates a great fatigue in my body and in my mind. Staging dance is something very sacrificed, it is a very strong emotional level. 

And what impacts people most is when they ask how many years my career lasts, and I answer them saying that it lasts 7 years in total ... sometimes it is hard for me to believe that the dance career lasts so long, but for me it is Very normal that lasts so long because being a dancer requires a lot of time and personal work to achieve good technique and interpretation.

In terms of infrastructure, I must say that much remains to be done. In my faculty the roofs fall, the elevators fall and we do not even have a garden to recreate.I must say that something I hate about my university is that they do not take care of the student welfare, because even the teaching is affected when there are student mobilizations and we must stop with our classes, this is where we fall behind with the contents of the classes and finally We can not pass all the material that should pass.

Post 6 Postgraduate studies

Hi Bloggers !!!!!!!!!! how are you???? I hope all is well. This is a difficult question for me, I think that the dance path is very isteresting and difficult, but is wonderfull and worth following for him.

Something that I would like to do after finishing my career is to do a Doctorate in Dancehall, as this type of dance is something that fills me completely and makes me enjoy life daily. This I would like to study it outside the country, and go to the roots of this culture, I would like to go directly to Jamaica to study this doctorate, since that is where this type of dance originated and better than studying it with the creators of this, and I would like to study it full time lol, obviously having periods of rest, because studying a body practice is quite hard for the body and you have to know how to rest and take care of yourself.


One advice I can give to the students is that they always go there and always try to learn what they can to be the best in what they like to do, when you love what you do, it is a pleasure to give your life For that and strive to get out our maximum and thus fill any void we have inside ourselves.

Thanks for reading me (:

My biggest fears

Heeeeelloooooooooooooooooooooooo my little bloggers ! Today is a nice day, the sun is very great for today, but today I will talk about something that is not as pleasant as today ... with this I mean my biggest fears.
One of my biggest fears is the tsunamis O: this is something that really scares me a lot, I know I'm afraid of this because since I have memory it scares me to think about it ... I've had dreams where the sea catches me And try to take me with him and it's one of the most desperate things I've ever felt ...
I think to feel this fear because since I was a child I have seen movies and documentaries in where natural catastrophes occur, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, and the results of these catastrophes are huge !

This fear I try to manage it simply not thinking it, I keep my mind occupied with things at the moment of seeing this type of norms on the television, I only try to live day by day with desire and of course giving love to my loved ones, to be in peace And feeling loved is one of the things that keeps me calm in my daily life.

The truth is that this fear I do not talk to anybody lol, in fact usually my fears in general do not convert ... except with my family and especially with my brother, I think that the fears are something that we are afraid to live them, and Talking to them only makes me relive the feeling of fear, which is a good thing to feel.

Regards :)

Pets / Animals

Hi my little bloggers ! Today i will talk about my pet... My pet name's Tito, its a white dog. I love it to much,and my family too. He gone to my home one day in the my brother's arms, he was very small when he arrived and very very whit.

Some activities I do with my dog is to play with his ball, throw toys at him to fetch and then bring them to me.Together we had a lot of fun, and we also gave each other lots of love.

I think it is important to have pets, which does not mean that it is an obligation, but having a pet helps a lot to grow people, I think, they make us see things that we do not see in others, we become more sensitive and open to listen to others.

Regards (:

LEVEL 4 >> Post N°2 The best Holidays/Concert ever (week 4)

Hello Bloggerssssssssss!!! Good morning for all (: I hope are well. Today i will talk about my best holidays, which were in the summer of last year in "San Pedro de Atacama". I traveled with my family (my mother, my father, my brother, my uncles and my cousins). We went for two weeks, and we went in caravan from Santiago to San Pedro de Atacama, and did we go stopping at various places to eat, sleep and seeing new places. When we arrived to San Pedro visit various places like The Valley of the Moon, The Valley of death, Altiplanicas Lagoons and Lagoon Sejar. My favourite place of all was The Valley of the Moon, for me is a very mistic place and wonderfull, is very beatifull for the eyes... is too much ! and see the sunset was one of the most beautiful things I saw on that trip.

This trip has been the best of all, because it has been a journey full of mysticism and good things. I just want to go back to this place and in the future when I have kids take them to live this beautiful experience.

Regards (:

2nd Term 2016 / LEVEL 4 >> POST 1 (Week 3) >> A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Hello dear bloggers! Today I want to share with you the country I want to visit, it's a place I want to go a lot!. This country is called jamaica, (Jamaica is a country and an island in America)

 and want to go to there to learn about the dancehall culture, their roots, their music and dancing in the street. I have told friends and teachers dancehall who have gone beyond the experience of conoser jamaica is unique and incredible, learn from teachers dancehall in Jamaica are important experiences for their training as teachers and followers of this great culture. Alla I wish I could take classes at first, but I would spend more on the streets as learning directly from roots. 

All this would serve me for my training as a dancer, I want to introduce myself thoroughly in everything that has to do with this dance, I want to learn every move with his song, I want to explore this kind of movement, and then relate what I study at the University , something totally opposite culturally, but I think they connect very beautifully in motion.

Regards,

Pau.-

Post 5 >> "A photograph you like"

My favourite picture is this, Patricio is a guy who study in my university and he likes photography . This photo was taken in  Antonio Varas theater ( Chilean National Theater ) in a function of a work in which I am interpreter alongside other college classmates . I like this photo because it shows a very important moment for me in the choreography , because just at that moment is where the dance takes over my body completely and makes me feel wonderful things that make me vibrate at the scene. Dancing for me means a lot , It's my life and I love it every day, I want to be a great dancer with my colleagues and I want to travel with them around the world living unique experiences that will make me grow deep as a dancer, mixing all knowledge of different techniques that I have learned. 

PD: in this photo are some of my classmates dancing this beautiful piece called " unstoppable " ( creation of karina navarrete and felipe fiskal )

This is my the first time that I write a blog and write in english has been a new experience to me and i'm not accustomed to write english and but it was fun and not bored as i thought. Now i have a new vocabulary for speak english with the people and in class, I believe that is very good for my process academic about the english.

I still feel that I have problems with writing , but I can hardly speak English , but with all these activities of blogging has made me my knowledge put into practice
The truth esque I liked the idea of writing and reading to my teammates because I could conoserlos more depth to them and their preferences for music, movies , books, activities, etc. Even apart from getting better little by little my English , I feel I've been grabbing affection to each of my colleagues just because reading them.

I would like to continue this experience as well 'll be constantly encouraging my English and simultaneously improve my writing and grammar and also fight the shame you feel sometimes when trying to speak in another language, because just sometimes we do not feel able to accomplish things that are difficult and you really only need the desire to want to learn (:

Post 8 >> " Your favorite Book"

Post 8 >> " Your favorite Book"

if I remember the first book I read as a child was called "The gingerbread". The truth rather than a book was a children's story, and I remember that I liked, I read countless times because I enjoyed it every time I read it. 

My author of favorite books is called JK Rowling, a woman who became famous by writing the great novels of Harry Potter, which I like a lot and I enjoy very much reading them, you could even say that they are my favorite books to read, as in these books talk about fantasy, magic, strange creatures and wizards with very special characteristics, which causes it to become very entertaining when reading.

Right now I find myself reading a book called "History of the Independent Dance in Chile", a book written by a teacher who makes me a theoretical bouquet at my university, the book is very interesting because it talks about many dancers older generations and important even teachers who made me in college classes currently interviewing. Culture is very good to know about the field in which you find yourself, because to be good at what we do we need to know in depth issue in my case dance and the important people who contributed to this beautiful art.

Post 9 (week 14) >> Themed/Free "My Favourite Music."

Post 9 (week 14) >> Themed/Free "My Favourite Music."

My favorite music is Dancehall . I love this music because it makes me vibrate and dance until the body does not give me more. This music i started to hear many years ago , but there was a time when I began to feel a special connection with it, which led me to the need to learn in depth. There are many musics and bands I like that are dedicated to this music , such as: Vybz Kartel , Charly Black , Millions. Even one of these newly appointed musicians , Charly Black , came to Chile on December 13, 2015 , to sing in a concert called " W Festival " concert where rappers sang national and international hiphop, Aidonia, etc. Another thing I wanted to say is that me apart to hear this music love to dance , taking classes with different teachers and also teach the knowledge learned my closest , as the music, dance and culture of Dancehall are absolutely related and only one thing.

Finally I would like you to meet my teacher Dancehall woman who taught me most of the knowledge that I have now and I admire deeply. I leave a video for you to see and know a little of what is dance and feel this wonderful Jamaican dance

Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

She was born in October 29 of 1991 and she is choreographer, dancer and actress. Goebel founded "The Royal family (her crew) when she was 15. She has participated in important work and has received awards as Female World of Dance Choreographer of the Year (2014). Parris is known for her particular style, which was created by her, polyswagg and today is a famous style in the hip hop world. It consists in combining two really important attitudes in a dancer: strength and nerve. As she says you have to breathe , listen and live the music in order to transmit feelings.

I like to follow this woman and take her as an example because the whole meeting . when I see dance I cringe and within my incredible sensations occur in relation to dance. every day motivated me to keep training because I see that there is so much to learn and so much to improve to reach a level espelusnante dancer and thus achieve beyond the goal.

Here i leave a picture of Parris... 

Post 6 >> "Tv shows and Series"

Hello people! Today i will writing about my favorite serie. 
Yes... i have My favorite TV's serie and is "The walking dead", a serie of American television, based on the eponymous comic. The series is about a zombie apocalypse, which is starring Rick Grimes, a police officer who wants to find his family after the dramatic incident.

I like to see this series because it was the first series I saw with my boyfriend , and we begin to see three years ago.

The type of series that I like to see it like this , I like to have supenso and a lot of intrigue.

I do not have a series in particular urgently want to see , but something I would like to see would be a series that talks about the dancehall and Jamaican culture.

Well now just waiting to come out next season ... haha Season Seven , and the truth is that the chapters are passed very quickly and I can not stop watching it because it's very good !

Post 4 (week 6) "My Favourite Movie"

My favourite movie is "I Origins" and i like it because i stopped thinking about various things related to science and spirituality. The first time i watched this movie was two years ago, and generality i like see movies of action or movies whit tematic or more deep things.

The most recent movie i saw was "V of Vendetta" and i liked very much!!!!! (Natalie Portman in the role of Evey Hammond and Hugo Weaving as V... but wonderfull actors!)

And something that I would like to add is that this film takes you to think and to question certain things in life where you give accounts of the corruption that exists in the world and how important it is to fight for our own ideals and thoughts

POST 3 (week 5) > MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

My Favourite piece of technology is my celphone. It`s a Samsung Grand Prime.

This device i got it for my birthday the last year (2015), when i was 22 years old. I use it to call and chat with my friends, i want to be informed of what happens in my people's circle and in the world, and listening to music and see the videos of dance.I use my celphone everyday and all day and i like to use it because is very funny and interesting. To end, i think my life without my celphone would be disconnedted of the reality, but i would do well because be looking my cell all day makes me dependent of it and miss important moments whit my people, my friends and my family...

Regards classmates! (:
