blog 10 / the end?

 

 Hi guys!

Today I will write the last blog, it makes me sad because now I really like writing here! At first it was difficult to find the indicated words, I tried to make the writings as clear as possible, and I always looked for simple words.
The first blog it took me 3 hours to write it and it was very stressful, but now with practice I have reduced the time a lot, there are days that have taken me 40 minutes, I have learned many words and I have learned to order sentences.

English has been a subject that I have never liked, it is very difficult for me and the pedagogical methodologies of the teachers I have always had, have not been to my liking,  today it is still a subject that is difficult for me but now I like it, teacher has shown us english in a much more didactic and positive way.

Very thanks teacher Benjamin!

Also my classmates are very happy and funny! It has been a very pleasant in English 3 experience with them and the teacher! hopefully at some point we can meet again.


Other topics I would like to write about?
I would like to write about stories that we have lived, funny things, stories lived at the university, there are many variety of topics, favorite meme haha, our pets, contingency topics, for example your quarantine experience, October 18, 2019, among others.



I send you a virtual hug! thank you very much to all.

Blog 9 / Music

 Hi guys!

Today I will write about my music favorite.

Talking about music for me is a big problem because I don't have a defined taste for music, I've always listened to a bit of everything, instrumental music, pop, classic rock, reggaeton, hard rock, chilean music,among other things.

In my adolescence a band called "The pretty reckless" marked me a lot, I still really like it.
When she was 15 years old she used to spend a lot of time during the day enjoying this music, the singer is called Taylor Momsen, she is the girl who appears in the movie "the grinch"  haha yes now he is dedicated to music.

The songs are very dark and sad, in my teens I really liked the drama haha

unfortunately all those songs stayed in my heart ahaha <3

Here a song ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txBfhpm1jI0

My disc favorite of the band is "Hit Me Like A Man" because 

the listened in my adolescence and enjoyed it very much.

Other songs I like a lot is the instrumental music.

When I was little I really liked dancing songs with instruments like the violin or cello, there is an Italian band called ashram, they do neoclassical music and I really like it.

I also love Arab music, one of my favorite Arab music composers is Hossam Ramzy, he is of Egyptian nationality.

My song favorite is "Al quantara" is is a fusion of arabic/ flamenco.

I only really like them because it relaxes me to listen to them, some because they marked stages of life for me and because they help me dance.

Blog 8

   
 Hi guys, Today I will write about a topic that I enjoyed studying this semester.

The topic is anatomy, anatomy is one of my favorite theoretical matter.
I really like anatomy because I can understand the function of the body, I can understand the mechanics of the body and that helps me prevent injuries or accidents in dance or everyday life

By learning anatomy, I can understand very simple things in everyday life, such as walking correctly,  postures for making strength correctly without damaging other muscle or articulations that they did not correspond to move, injuries are avoided both in the daily dance and in normal life.


People in daily life tend not to be very aware of their body, they have bad postures, they usually have an incorrect walk or they misguide their movements, as a result appear joint wears and back pain, among others.

Anatomy is a very good tool for dancers and it is also for everyone.

My favorite anatomy book is anatomy for movement by blandine calais, I like it because it is anatomy for movement, it teaches you the mechanics of movement and the book is very simple to understand.

This made my life easier.

Blog 7 Mary wigman

 


     Hi Guys!

Today I will tell you about a person I admire in the field of dance.

Mary Wigman

Mary wigman is a dancer german,main pioneer of expressionism dance, she was born in Hannover November 13, 1886  and died in Berlin, September 19, 1973.

For her, dance was an expression of the individual's interior, with special emphasis on expressiveness versus form. Thus, she attached special importance to gestures, often linked to improvisation, as well as the use of masks to accentuate the expressiveness of the face. Her movements were free, spontaneous, trying new ways of moving around the stage, dragging or sliding, or moving parts of the body in a static attitude, as in oriental dance.

She installed a break dance for her time, it was an avant-garde dance.

I work with important figures of the time such as Rudolf von Laban (pioneer of modern dance) and Dalcroze (pioneer of rhythm).

Some of his works are Witch Dance I (1914), Scream (1923), The Evening Dances (1924), Space Chants (1926), Visions (1928), L'Histoire du Soldat (1929), Das Totenmal (1930), Orpheus and Eurydice (1947), Catulli Carmina (1955), Le Sacre du Printemps (1957) and Alkestis (1958).

The most famous is the witch dance

I like mary wigman because she was a breakthrough woman, intelligent and determined in her time, she raised interesting themes in dance, not only the dance itself, there was also artistic visual content in the dance ,  she proposed dance as independent without needing music.
Many of his works and movement  have similarities with the current dance, the  "contemporary dance", which at that time did not yet have a name nor was it a technique as such.
