"Postgraduate course that you would consider taking in the future" My favourite area of my career is the costume design, but the knowledge that the university give you is very basic, so a postgraduate course that i'm really considerating is a Haute Couture course. since I was a young boy, I have admired the greatest designers like Christian Dior or fashion houses like Chanel or Versace for the influence that its designs can do in the life of the people. Even the most avant-garde and rebel designers like Alexander McQueen or Vivienne Westwood, whit their ideas made contributions to the way that the people see the fashion design, influencing the pop culture or taking elements of subcultures. I think that the fashion is a good specular tool to see the society, you can see the history and even the different storys of a age, a comunity or a country, the clothe is one of the primary representations of the "myself" construction; it say a lot of your personality o...

Post 4 Recipes and food first of all, I love to eat, so as a result, I love to cook because thereby I can cook to myself and eat a lot ajajaj an endless cycle of food! I don't have an "area of expertise" basically I try to do my best effort whit any recipe that a trie to make, but I have a cooking weak point: the cakes. everytime I tray to make one, something happens and it doesn't work. but whit any other recipe i don't have problem. My favourite food is the italian food, pastas, pizzas, rissoto, verything, so i prepare so many italian recipes, but whit a personal touch. I think that my best recipe is the mushroom rissoto, my secrets are that I prepare the broth where the rice will be coocked whit chicken and vegetables, and while the rice is absorbing the broth I put a little of chardonay wine. When the risssoto is almost ready, I add a mix of cheese; Reggianito, Edam and Parmesan cheese. at the moment of serving it, I add chopped nuts over it. If you...

I think that the principal "english lenguaje challenge" in Chile is how the educational programs about this are implemented and most especially in the public sector. is difficult to lear english when your education about it is so mucha poor and inefficient, when in 12 years you repeat the same things about verb tense and irregular verbs, a constant and nonsense repetition that only bores you and doesn't let you learn. if the classes are the same during 12 years, you don't learn so much and if outside the classes you don't have instances to practice, you really can´t learn. My basic knowledge of english was given by the videogames, i like the rol playing video games genre, and in the 90's the most of these videogames only had the english lenguaje as option. so, when you entry to the university and take the english course, you only have a poor educational base and in the best of the cases, some self-taught knowledge. in my case, take the english IV course two...

Post 9 Changes I'd make to my study pogram. I think that we need deeper courses because we have a semester carrer program and in one semester we can not do the theorical and practical things. I always think the career is more like a "hand made craft" career, so we need a balanced program between theorical and practical information but always guided to make things. abaout the infrastructure, I think that we need more specifically spaces. we have the basic spaces, but in some kind of workshops or activities we need more technical equipment and infrastructure. Also we have very old instrumental to the workshops and classes, for example, the illumination workshop happens whit the minimal conditions; we have the instrumental lighting, basicaly and old instrumental, but at least we have it. the problem is that we use incandescent istrumental but in "the real world", in the labor world the theaters use led instrumental, so we have a mismatch between the thinks t...

My favourite vacations The last spring I traveled to the "cypress nature reserve" located in the 6th region, specifically at 50 kilometers from rancagua in direction to the Andes mountains. The reasons why this was my favorite vacation is because this was a very, VERY bad trip in terms of comfort, but it was the most exciting and lovely travel in terms of personal relationship whit my traveler partners. i went with my girlfriend and my best friend, we travel from santiago to my house in rancagua, pack all the things taht we thougt that we could need in the car of my parents and we started the real travel. the problem was that we dont package the food... and we noticed just when we got there. afortunadly we package a pair of wine big bottles and some pieces of bread, so our food during two days was a very "biblical food" ; bread and wine. even with this mishap, we enjoyed so much the travel, the place was beatiful whit so much nature life and pure air, and the ...

My future Job I would like to work as theater director but also as theater designer, something like a "scenic director". In my last project, a play called "Social Pariah" the playwrighter invited me to work as director, although I'm not studyingto be one, but as theater designer I feel very trusted to perform that role. Obviusly I don't the techniccal language about it, so that was the reason why I decided work whith a "co-director", a third year acting student that was interested in to work in more interdisciplinary projects . I know that I'm talking abaout mi previous job, but this expirience made me think a lot about the theater design's role in the experience of representation and how my discipline can have a better dialog whit the actors, thinking in them more like a bodys whit differents histories and points of view, artists whit a lot of content to contribute to the visuality in general. I have some pics of the final res...
