Session 6 Post 7 Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

Alvin Ailey
 
Alvin Ailey (January 5, 1931 – December 1, 1989) was an African-American choreographer and activist who founded the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. He is credited with popularizing modern dance and revolutionizing African-American participation in 20th-century concert dance. His company gained the nickname "Cultural Ambassador to the World" because of its extensive international touring.
His most important work, Revelations (1960), was based on the American Negro spirituals. They traveled around the world, including Australia in 1962 and Senegal in 1966. They became in 1984 the first group performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where most of its components were black. In 1985 he toured China. 
His works include works such as Blues Suite (1958) and Mass (1971, with music by Leonard Bernstein. He was choreographer for some other companies besides his own, as the American Ballet Theatre, the Paris Opera Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet, for which he created Feast of Ashes (1962).
I like him very much because his language it means so interesting to me, the way esthetic form installing the body.

 

Level 3 Post 5 My favorite photograph

This is my uncle and I, he's name is Aquiles, he's the brother of my mom, he came to visited the family on summer 2014, he doesn't live in Chile, he live in Sweden since 2003 and he had not come since then. He has gone to Sweden for better oportunities and lifestyle.
He tooked a selfie with his cellphone at my home, we're bored watching TV and we didn't know what to do, and he tooked his cellphone to remember every moment however simple it out.
I love this picture because shows the a lot of situations when we are joking or having fun with a little things like an app on his cellphone.
We are very close, he's like to my old brother. He always helps me on everything in spite of the distance. I've been thinking to visite him or move in with him someday. He's very important to me, he's the best uncle that life could give me.

Level 3 Post 4 Free/Themed blog post Holidays in Chile

I'm pretty bitter, I don't like holidays, but I can talk about new year. My dad prepare dinner, we used to eat baked lamb every year, is a tradition, while we eat, we opened the bottle of the good stuff and read all the things we lived that year. I like this moment from this holiday than others holidays, I love remember things with my family at home, is a "Stellar moment". 
I don't go out to celebrate that is de bad thing of this holiday, I always wanted dance in a party with my friends. I don't like dressed pretty and nobody see me,
The last new year I spend with my cousins and we dressed very pretty all, and we take pictures, and they see me, it was very exiting, I love my cousis, they are part of my life and they always been with me on holidays.

Movies

I don't have a favourite movie or a favourite genre, I just see that. I love watching movies especially on sunday morning when I wake up, and I slept well. On sunday I wake up later than I usually do, and I stay in bed almost all day if I don't have to go out I watch movies and series.
I generally see movies on cable TV, and when they end I keep watching movies on Netflix.
I like to watch movies with my mom but she doesn't have time or that's what she says, so I end up watching movies alone all sunday.
I like to watch "El 7mo vicio" I learn very much about movies and I love to see new movies or other perspectives of films. I discovered a lot of genres that I didn't know I liked, like psycho, horror films, biopics, investigation and documentaries.
When I don't have nothing to do I remember any movie it caught my attention and I watch it in the midnight, especially horror or psychological movies.
I like romantic movies too, but just a few, I don't like "clichés" but is the energy of love is powerful I love that! My favourite romantic movies are Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare in love, Attonement, The Notebook. All these films characterized because they are set in another time.

Jane Eyre is the first movie I can understand the powerful of love, I was 7 years old when I watched it, I watched with my mom on lunch time in a channel called "Showbiz". I never forget that day, it was cloudy and cold.

I love musicals there's the most I enjoy it, I like to analyze the staging, or costumes and obviously the choreography and singers. My favourite musicals are Chicago, The Rocky horror picture show, Hairspray, Grease, Cats, and others I can't remember now.

I like very much films that talk about psychological problems or mental thoughts or drugs like Funny Games, Psycho, Donnie Darko, A clockwork Orange, The Shining, Trainspotting, Requiem for a dream and many more.

I enjoy watching short films, I love this format and makes me think about everything.
Well so you've seen I don't have one movie or genres favourite because I love see everything!

Level 3 Post 3: Write about your favourite piece of technology

I don't have a favourite piece of technology but the most one I use is my computer. I have it since christmas 2014, before that I never had a computer for myself, there was always one for everyone. I use it to watch series and movies on netflix, study and do my work for college. When I don't have nothing to do I mean, when I don't study, I see series until I fall asleep. How often I use it depends on what series I'm watching. I like it because it's mine and nobody uses it. It's always waiting for me. When my series ends I don't turn on my computer for a couple of days because I don't know what to do with my life and that is when I usually continue with my routine until another series premier. If I did not have my computer I would see the TV series or just not see series.
Now I'm seeing Gossip Girl, and Dance Academy (It is the second time I've seen it). And I've seen for years Pretty little liars, Gotham and Bates motel, I can't wait for the premiere episode of Pretty little liars.

                                                

Level 3 - Post 2 (week 4) > Expectations for a New Semester

This semester I have eight subjects, modern dance, contemporary dance, ballet, physical conditioning, improvisation, history of dance, music and english. All this subjects are very interesting but it means so much information and you  can think that it is impossible to understand. My favourites subjects are modern dance because I feel powerful in this class, improvisation because I can feel calm, free, and intimate with myself and ballet to make me feel a real ballerina although it may not be.
I worked in a company of musical theatre last month but I had to leave because with the subjects of this semester I can't go anymore. I currently work in a dance academy called "Fusión arte" and I'm the teacher of ballet class of little girls who are between 2 and 7 years old. I love my job, they are so cute!
Last year it was a very very bad year for me, so this summer I tattooed my arm to remember this moment and never forget that I don't deserve that, and I decreed this year I'm gonna be powerful and no one is gonna hurt me and I'll give my best as dancer and person.
