Learning English

I think that my experience has been very fruitful but I must admit that I hate to have two teaching hours because is difficult to can keep concentration for long time. The normal situation must be just one hour (exactly one a half hour), this for me it’s better because I feel that knowledge becomes better integrated. Nevertheless my learning was good, thanks to the teacher’s will. He always motivates us to lose the fear of speak in English at loud. One thing that I know that I have to improve is my capacity to listen and understand or differentiate the words that sound equal but are different. I think that the blog help me very much for keep me practicing my write and allowed myself to expand my vocabulary. Also I try to practice watching movies without subtitles and I realized that I understand more than I believed.

Outside of the English class I only use English for an personal interest because I like the idea of travel and obviously can speak English is a fundamental tool for communicate and relate with other people´s country. I would like keep practicing but lamentably I don’t know any people with who i can talk and share the experience of learn another language.

Another thing of what English can help me in for search information about some activities related to dance happen around the world, sometimes the information or documents or writes about dance and corporal expression are not translated into Spanish, in this way know something about English open the opportunity of expand my field of investigation.

The fall of Education

First of all, the dance carrer for long time has been some problems in the administrative and economic area, this is because the university never has been interested in supports the necessities that the art faculty require. This is an evident subject in relation to other faculties like the medicine faculty or the engineering faculty because they really have the sufficient resources to his students can fully develops in his career.

For example in matter of buildings and infrastructure we don’t have green areas or a yard where the student can share, rest or do any type of recreational activities in their free times. Due to that place don’t exist we are force to spend that time in little and busy streets of Santiago Centro. Also the elevators are very old and are in terrible shape because they not receive the proper maintenance. Often we have to go up to very high floors trough the stairs causing problems to old people or delay in arrive to our classes.  This is a very serious problem, even one time a student suffered an accident provoked  for a flaw of the elevators system, she was injured in her spine and the university never made responsible.

In other matter, it is necessary improve technological resources like, speakers, sound systems and lights for proper performances. Most of these things are in poor condition or simple not work.

I would can tell you a lot more problems or flaws that we can find in our university, bur that is not a problem of this university specifically, if not that is a problem of the educational system of Chile.

Dancer Birds

I don’t really know much about Chilean or foreign birds but when I go to my dad's home in Matanza beach I always see some black birds gliding over the sea and it seems that with their slow movements can freeze time. When I’m arrive there i stop to see them and I would like feel that my arms are like their wings. Their movements trough the sky inspire me to move with the cold wind. Once my dance teachers said to me that I had to improve my muscular tone and be able to dance with different qualities of movement enriching the corporal expression. Maybe the exercise of bring back to my mind the memory of the flight of those black birds when I’m dancing can help me to relax or release the muscles of my body to achieve with less tense move. This technique is frequently used in the dance world and helps to exploration and pursue of new corporal language.

All this situation would never happen in a city like Santiago because I think that only being surrounded by nature you can appreciate the little subtlety hidden in the world.

I never knew the name of those beautiful black birds that help me so much in the development of my career, so I decided that for my next beach trip I going to ask to the local people about them, their characteristics, their food, their rounds, their behavior and their relation whit the people of the town.

If one day you have the opportunity to travel to Matanzas don’t doubt in look the sky and be amaze by the beautiful dancer birds.

I like to dream and think about traveling.

i would like to live in Brasil for a long time, maybe four year or the time that it be necessary to me. This year, I will travel  for first time to Brasil and I will know more near the place ,people and culture. For my future job i think that there may be more that here, because brazilian have more interest for corporal expression, arts and also sport and physical activity. In relation to that I have to finish a Pilates course. i did it thinking that in a future  it could be difficult to live just "Dance" even more if you are a foreigner. This would allow me to have more tools to survive.

I like Brasil because the people is very happy, they have an energy very light. Somehow i feel that fit in with milieu.

I would like to go alone or maybe with a couple. All depend of my emotional situation (I'm a little unstable).

When i'm there, i would like to go out for jog on the beach, then to eat any fresh fruit and to prepare to go to my work. After that to arrive to home (take a shower since weather is very hot) and then go to read someplace near of the beach or go to see a work of dance, theater or exhibition photography.
