ABOUT MOVIES

Movies. I love movies, because they are entertainment and sometimes all I need is entertainment and just some moments to enjoy a little bit of "non real realities". And they provide opportunities to share time with people. Besides, there is a lot of work behind them and it's interesting to me to know and understand how things work in order to create what we see on the screen, whether we're talking about movies that have a lot of symbologies to be discovered or movies with green screens and a lot of digital work. 

I like all kinds of movies, but I do have some preferences with the genres. I tend to watch romance, arthouse and fantasy. Romance just because I like to empathize with the characters feelings, it's exciting. Arthouse because analyzing them you find out so many interesting things about them that were kind of hidden or just needed more attention. And fantasy because with them we have the possibility to SEE entire crazy worlds that don't exist. And sometimes they create things that I could have never even imagine.

It's problematic to me when people asks me about my favorite movie, because it's so hard to chose one! But right now I can think about "Get out" (2017), directed by Jordan Peele. I remember that I was both intrigued and amazed when I first watched it. It was about Chris, a man that goes to her girlfriend's parents house, to meet them. The atmosphere is weird since the moment he steps in the house, not just because the way the camera is directed but the performance of the other characters. Later he discovers that his in-laws have a horrifying secret that involves his skin color and the plans that they have for him. It is really intense and the way it' s narrated is very disturbing, but on a good way, on a interesting way, the kind of way that makes you want to keep watching until the end while sitting on the edge of the seat and without taking your eyes off the screen also while reflexing about an important matter. 

Movie theaters are available again, but I haven't went there yet. Hopefully I'll do it soon.

A PHOTOGRAFH I LIKE

Imagen
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 a...

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

Imagen
  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...
