 I am not sure that art can change the world but I do believe that it produces a profound impact on society and its transformation, the human being is subject to change and art has a positive impact on the development of each person and, therefore so much, of each society. The theater expresses behaviors, ideas, habits and achieves changes at the group level, since the proposals of its work are diverse and are directed at children, youth and adults, addressing different topics and social problems that always leave a message on which to reflect. As a theatrical designer, I have the responsibility of building, through visuality, an aesthetic political discourse that dialogues with people, and that collaborates with the message that is to be transmitted. This, which almost always involves a call to consciousness, can generate, even if it is small, a change in the people who observe my work. In this sense, the importance of showing the vices of our society on stage has to do with giv...

  Well... As you can see, today I bring you a photo, that personally I really like and I'm going to talk to you a bit about it . This winning photograph of the prestigious worldwide contest "35Awards" in the category “Reportage Photography” was taken by Javier Vergara (independent photographer) during protests that occurred in Chile at the end of 2019, in the context of the so-called "Social Outbreak" . In the image we can see how protesters protect themselves with a shield from water cannon used by the Chilean Special Police Forces . As we well know, there are many shocking images that the revolt of October 18 th left us, however, among others, this one seems very powerful to me, because it captures the exact moment in which people as a whole resist the repressive action of the police. The way in which the group of protesters covers themselves, the impact of the water suspended in the air and the way in which the Chilean flag emerges from chaos, I think it re...

Hello, today I am going to talk to you about my favorite food and also a bit about my diet . First, I must say that the subject of meal is something that I interest me a lot . From a while ago, that I have taken more conscience about I eat and how that affect not only me, but also other living things, and that's why that since a year ago, I started to be a vegetarian. At the beginning, it seemed difficult to make vegetarian tasty dishes and I thought that I would have to cook very different things than before, but soon I realized that when I was carnivorous often also I ate inadvertently vegetarian dishes, as “The fabulous rice with french fries” .   Rice with french fries is a food that I love, it have good flavor, it is cheap to make and easy to cook, you only need a package of rice, a few potatoes, water, oil, and some seasoning, which are ingredients that you can find everywhere. It will barely take you 20 minutes to make the rice and 15 minutes to fry the potatoes so that ...

In that respect, the computer has helped me a lot in my learning process during the career, and because of that I have taken affection it and even It has become one of the most valuable objects f...

  Hello everyone, in this second post I will be talking about my life, academic experience, career and professional decisions . When I was a child I wanted to be many things (well…until today) . At first I wanted to be a chef and I suppose it was because I liked a lot to eat cakes, because actually I have never been skilled at cooking . Later, I remember that I wanted to be a dancer, in fact I joined and participated in a lot of dance academies meanwhile I was highschool . In that time, I felt that dance was my passion, and I was determined to study it, but then I got sick and I decided to leave it . When I finished highschool I was a little bit lost about the continuation of my studies, I knew that I liked all things associated with artistic creation, I always was drawing, painting, sewing clothes, fixing things and making inventions, and for that reason I thought to study   costume design however that did not quite convince me . One day , browsing the internet (...

Now I am in fourth year and I got used to the pressure (I think so). As I said before, I live with my parents, my mother is Marcela, she works in the house and my father ...
