Post 5: My future job

As I am in my last year of university, it has become a recurring concern what will that job be that supports me financially while making me happy, being an artist in Chile can be very difficult.

My perfect job would be many indeed, I imagine myself working in a cultural center, either managing or doing classes. Teaching is also an area that I would like to develop, I would like to be a theater teacher in schools, open free workshops in neighborhood venues in the summers, I imagine that this must be very rewarding.

My career is Theater Acting, and although I have never developed the artistic field very well in my career, it is something that I would like to do in the future, either acting in a play or film or directing. In general I think that I see my future work in very different ways, I think it will not be easy but I also have hope that doing what I like to do I will be happy.

Post 4: A person I would like to meet

I am about to graduate as an actor and I also consider myself an informal musician, therefore I love music and cinema (and series), and recently there is a person who appears to me in both: Donald Glover.

 

Donald is a 38-year-old American comedian, he is also a director, screenwriter, rapper, musician and producer. He became known for acting on the sitcom Community (which is my favorite series right now) and for creating and performing in Atlanta, a Netflix series about rap and music.

 

At the same time, Donald created an alter ego to launch his musical career: Childish Gambino. The idea of ​​creating a character to separate his musical career from his acting career seems great to me! It is something I would like to do because it makes it more fun and infinite artistic worlds can be created.

 

I think that although I like his performances in the series I have whatched, his music captivates me a lot, making rap that goes beyond what I was used to listen. His musical productions are very beautiful and they manage to convey many sensations in the same album. I think his versatility as an actor helps him to generate a proposal that goes from music, visuality, performance, musical production, show and storytelling. He is a really complete artist!

 

Sometimes I think I would like to perform with him in a show and that he invites me to collaborate on one of his songs. He transmits a very sensitive and friendly attitude, I think we could get along well jeje.

 

Donald (and Childish) has won awards both as an actor and as a musician. In 2017 his performance and his direction in Atlanta made him the winner of two Emmy Awards, that same year he was nominated for the Grammy Awards in various categories for his album "Awaken, my love", finally winning the award for Best Traditional R&B Recording.

Post 3: A day to remember.

It was a day like any other day at my place in downtown. 

With my friend Seba, we went out to get some French fries. All of the sudden, while we were walking down the street we saw the cutest cat that I have ever seen in my whole life: it was white and black, and it seemed he was the same age as “the cat” (our pet) He looked hungry and poorly looked after.

Still, he to approached me and began to caress me, at that very moment I knew that he wanted me to be his friend, and that we could give each other’s company, love and friendship. So, we made the decision to adopt him and that I would be his tutor.

That made me feel so happy. Sadly, my happiness was interrupted when a man told me that the cat had an owner who worked in the restaurant across the street. I was not sure about what the man said, because the cat was badly cared, so because of that I thought that his owners would not take care of him. Anyway, I decided to go and ask the man, and although they told me that the cat was from there, I wasn’t confident enough and I thought it was best to adopt it, so I told the owner: "I'll take the cat" and I went out with him, nobody told me anything and since that day he's my kitten Suko.

Post 2: The Best Concert.

My best concert was for the 50-year-anniversary of Congreso, a Chilean band of rock fusion!

It was in August 2019 at the Caupolicán Theater and it was quite an event! Some friends from Concepción came to Santiago, where I lived, and we went to see Congreso forming a group of 7 people. The concert lasted almost 4 hours! It was spectacular. In between there was a live parade, a puppet show, a light show and much more. As the band's 50 years were being celebrated, they invited to the stage different members that the group has had over the years, so we could see the Congreso of the 60s and the 80s, where the special guest was the Chilean musician Joe Vasconcelos. It was a concert full of emotion and really beautiful, as I enjoyed the company of friends who I love and a first-class show.

Post 1: A Country That I Would Like To Visit.

There are many countries in Europe that I would like to visit but I am very afraid of long airplane trips. That is why I will talk about a country that is a little closer and that catches my attention.

I would like to get to know Cuba because I think it is a very different place from everything I know: its climate, its culture, its people and its social structure are different from what we have here in Chile. Cuba has a very rich revolutionary history and I find it very exciting to know all this right from there.

Also the relationship that Cuba has with music and African descent is very beautiful for me, if you go to Cuba the carnival and the drums are not to be missed. I would like to go to some kind of salsa or "son" dance, which are typical rhythms from there, it must be a very exciting experience!

I would like to get to know Havana, because it is something not to be missed. Also, I would really like to have the opportunity to know lost towns or villages in Cuba, because I believe that in those places you can find the essence of the territories. That is something that I really care to learn when I go to know a place.

Today there is much talk about the Cuban situation and it is the focus of debate. I would like to go to Cuba not as a simple tourist but to be able to stay there for 2 or 3 months and live with a family so that I can see with my own eyes what life is like there. Today this is possible thanks to Working Holiday platforms such as Airbnb.
