JOB...

I like versatility, I could never work in an office and stay there for hours and keeping that monotony. That just does not matches me. I like creative spaces that require physical activity and exploration of the potential of the body. Which makes sense since I´ve always been a very restless person.

And I´m currently majoring in drama, so, indeed, I'd like a job in the performing arts area. Particularly, I like acting, screen acting and theatre acting. But I also want to explore direction and dramaturgy, specially this last one because regardless I prefer movement I´ve always liked writing, novels, not plays. But since I have a dramaturgy subject I´ve had the possibility to learn about writing plays and it´s been awesome to me. Besides, the arts area is not an easy industry, in fact, it's not even a real industry in Chile, so it's important to be able to know how to operate different skills, so you have more opportunities. Although, that happens in all kinds of works, just in different levels, I think.  

In terms of salary, it´s hard to talk about it when it comes to arts, because it's not regular, sometimes there's not even a contract or the pay is not enough. That's why I think that I just have to work very hard in order to work in this area that I love while having enough money to live properly, that's the only thing that is really important to me. I don´t have aspirations for a fancy life, I just want to have a good time while living.

I'd like to get to know one or two countries, but I'm not really a traveler, so I don't expect my job to provide me that. It would be cool though, of course. I just don´t need it. Maybe I'm just super simple.

Despite I don't have fancy life expectations it doesn't mean I don't dream with being a famous actress and that kind of things, who doesn't want recognition for what they're putting so much effort on?. I want to be able to do what I want, just being realistic and having low expectation while, paradoxically, giving it all for the big dream, which basically means just being committed.

Also, I don´t really know if I'm talking about an indoor job or an outdoor job, because rehearsals can take place anywhere and everywhere, same with any theatrical event and sets.

    I share with you as an artist always wanting to be in movement and create with the body. It is true that it is difficult in this country, but it only remains to do what you are passionate about and go far

    I think that is pretty cool your vision of life, because you don't need much to be okey and relax.

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

Imagen
  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...
