A PHOTOGRAFH I LIKE



This is a picture of some of my friends that live in Perú and I when I went to visit Cajamarca (where I was born) to celebrate the cajamarcan carnivals in February, 2019. I don't really remember who toke the picture but it was probably just some random stranger.
Music, dance, carnival floats, carnival queen contests and neighborhood contests, water and paint wars and alcohol are some of the things that are part of the carnival and they're distribute in determined days, so the kids would be able to attend the ones that are a safe space for them. For example, when I was little I used to be taken to watch the floats and people dancing. Also, my friends, some family members and I used to attend to water wars that took place in some parks. But there's also a day when a lot of people go to the streets, play some instruments, sing some "coplas", wage a paint war with everyone around and drink "chicha de jora" . It starts very early in the morning and last for as long as you want to, for some people event to the next day, but I think that is a little too excessive. 
I like that picture so much because that was the first time I attended to the paint war day that in other times I was just able to from the window. It was exiting, I danced a lot and also met in the streets with many people that I hadn't seen for many many years. 
Just to be more specific, the moment when the picture was taken was around lunch time and we were about to walk back to one of my friend's house.
I'm waiting for another opportunity to go to the carnivals again!

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

  It is pretty hard to reflect about this matter because I got into college when the pandemic started so I haven´t had my subjects as they correspond nor have I experienced university life. Besides, my career demands a lot of praxis and physical interaction, which is being pretty much impossible to access with the pandemic's limitations. Even on top of this, I've had classmates this semester that took a year off that have shared with me differences that they found between what they were being taught and what is currently being taught to us. So it happens to be that my class is missing a lot or getting the knowledge very disorderly. I had subjects like "Actuación y teatralidad" and "El actor y el colectivo" on my first semester, and my classmates that took a year off told me that subjects of this semester like "Creación de personaje" and "Puesta en escena" are very much like those other courses, when they're supposed to be very differe...

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

  I'm currently studying drama and, just like any other art, academic training is never a need. If you chose to study it in a university you have certain reasons that aren't related to the fact that you will most likely  HAVE to go to college after you leave school. Because the arts area is unstable and it is not like playing safe anyways. Or at least that is what I think. So, even though postgraduate studies is a very common phenomenon in my family and I've always been encourage to study as much as possible, when I first started to think about this matter nothing occurred to me. Nevertheless, at some point I considered that I've always wanted to take some acting course in front of camera, since my university is focused in theater. That other way of acting involves skills that I´m not being taught but that I want to have.  Another thing that came to my mind are musicals,  because right before the pandemic I managed to enter a musicals academy, but...
