Kiri Te Kanawa in Beijing. A sea of serenity.

- June 3, 2009

Kiri Te Kanawa's Concert Program. At "The Egg", Beijing 2008. When I bought the tickets for this performance on January the 2nd 2008, at the Music Hall of the National Centre for Performing Arts , I never thought that the stage would be situated so close to me, and so would be, of course, the star of the night, Kiri Te Kanawa. She was there, no more that 10 meters away from my seat, singing, for 1000 or 2000 spectators, but for a moment I felt she was only singing for me. I've…

Picasso pintando... Una manera de entender el encadenamiento de acciones físicas y la creación de una historia sin palabras.

- May 8, 2009

Teatro Potlach Hace más de 15 años el Teatro Potlach de Italia fue a la ciudad de México para dar una serie de conferencias y cursos sobre su trabajo técnico. En aquél tiempo yo trabajaba para Escenología y formaba parte de la compañía de teatro que su director, Edgar Ceballos, estaba formando y que no llegó a presentar su primer montaje (1). Imbuido totalmente en el trabajo sobre las acciones físicas, tanto desde el punto de vista de Grotowski como de aquél de la Antropología…

Henrik Ibsen on the cover of "L'Illustration" (March 19th 1889)

- April 1, 2009

Henrik Ibsen was a famous author, less than Victor Hugo (who moved masses), but more famous, at his time (19th Century), than many playwrights we revere today. There’s no question about his presence in many social and editorial European circles, and about his position as a living national poet of Norway. Ibsen was a pretext for writing articles, reviews, critics, books (Bernard Shaw dedicated one to him, for example), and his own intellectual figure was fashionably appearing on the cover of many…

The new Shakespeare's The Globe, a visit. (2005)

- February 25, 2009

From Shakespeare's The Globe (2007) My travel in London couldn't be complete without one visit to The Globe, the theatre where Shakespeare used to work in 16th Century. The theatre is a reconstruction of the original one, thanks to an American actor who was obsessed with seeing it rebuilt. He passed away years before the new Globe was finished but at least could know his dream was going to have a good end. Many words should be written about it, in a while just images... Vide…

Walking on the riverside of the Thames you could find a sea of people enjoying food, dancing, buying artcrafts, and seeing performances. This Korean Drums were performing with that particular energetic way on t…

My personal video edition of Mei Lanfang's hand gestures, from films and books I've found about this subject. Mei Lanfang was known thanks to his quality and his ability to perform with details. In the middle of a strong tradition he knew how to make changes, with detailed and precise objectives; hand gestures were among those changes. Short slideshow
