A person that I admire: Isadora Duncan





Isadora Duncan was an american dancer borned in May 27th,1877. Her life was very intense and complicated since she was a little girl. She's known for her dance inspired in the waves. 


Isadora  was the first dancer in investigate the expression of the movement, searching a natural dance that coming from the soul and escapes from the artificial and virtuous representation, rejecting this way the academic dance.She passed hours and hours experimenting with her body until find a true movement. Inspired from the observation  of the greek figures in the museum, she broke with the clothes used in the classical ballet and danced without shoes and wearing tunics that gives to her the free that she wanted. Her dance was very related with the music and the emotions.
Her movements and ideology could be consider  the base of the modern dance and the improvisation. Isadora with her sister found a school where teaching this way to understand the dance. In that place they don't impose a specific technique.
I really admire her for the bravery that she has for confront the life and her permanent search in the dance.

 "Tv shows and Series"




I don't watch TV  so much , because It get bored to me and  I don´t have many time for this. If I have free time,  I prefer to do any other thing. 
When I started to study dance, I liked to see ''So you think you can dance'', because the virtuosity of the dancers surprises to me, but now that's not so interesting to me. Actually I don't watch tv shows or Series,  I prefer the movies.  

When I was a a little girl I remember that I spent so much time watching TV. I liked  to watch animate series of Cartoon Network and Discovery Kids while I ate a lot of cookies. Courage the cowardly dog, the powerpuff girls, the cow and  the chicken, the pink panther, the flintstones and many others are some of the series that I watched in my childhood.

Now, the truth is that I'm so far of the TV series and I'm not interested in watch some of them.

A photograph that I like: ''Landscape as an attitude''



''Landscape as an attitude'' is a photograph was taken in 1979 at the United States by Luis Camnitzer, a Uruguayan artist born in Germany. This photograph is a self-portrait of the artist and shows his face like a topography in which appears  different elements of a rural landscape.
I like this photograph because it seems to me very interesting the way that the human body presents as a surface that  holds something, in this case, the animals, the tree and the house. The forms, folds and textures of Luis's face remind me a mountain. This photograph generates in me the idea that all  the persons could be thought like different landscapes, and it  seems to me so beautiful.
Many times, more than find a logical meaning  to an artwork, I only prefer feel that it produces to me. In ''landscape as an attitude'', I like the simplicity and calm of the scene,  I feel in peace.

I found this photograph in  Artishock, a web page about the contemporary art, specially  visual arts. If you can visit this page, this is the link: artishockrevista.com. Enjoy it!
