my "professional" information in a plot twist

–First I would like to say that if you read my entry "my red convertible Porsche" you will already know that this thing that I'm doing in this institution  don't represent my interests. Or maybe should say: if you read that entry you will know that  I'm quite doubtful. In that entry I said that I should stick to my original plan, so now I'm trying to bend my destiny and  do what was undo.–



I have a Design degree with focusing in Industrial Design and currently I'm a student in the Dance program of the Arts Faculty in Universidad de Chile.

At the end of my first degree I started thinking in a way of transform the disciplinar field I was told I should perform my professional knowledge and add to it my own perspective and interests. I decided not to take to an end my final project and pospone my residence, with the aim of going out and pursuit new places and disciplines where I could insert myself.

The plan A was: ask for a working holiday visa to Denmark and use the time spend there visiting the Fine Arts school and the Design school looking for programs that link architecture, interior and stage design, and which had a artisanal and more low production approach. In the other hand, I'd used the three months window for travel to London and search for an internship or residence at Aithor's Troup workshop. Then I'd return to Chile and finish my career using all the Design information gather during the trip as the subject for my final project.




The executed plan was: I took an audition for a Dance program, I passed, I took the program. I never traveled.

Results: now I would like to complete a certification in "musculoskeletal system applied" in the Medicine Faculty of Universidad de Chile, and then apply to a Fondart and be able to travel to Denmark and take the intensive course dictate by Fighting Monkeys® and maybe take the chance and travel to L.A. and complete a certification in Functional Range Conditioning®. In the meanwhile, I would like to explore the field in between the fashion film and the video dance, the production and making of these two, not so distant, audiovisual formats.

non sense

“Why isn't it three plus five the same that six plus two?”  That was what I wonder when I woke up today. Not an European forest full of pines and oaks and musk growing as a natural carpet. A Chilean forest instead, full of Eucalyptus, Litre and a serie of unknown brunches and bushes. That one that grows near the beach was the one that I was trying to scape from.  After running through the forest I found a safe place. I reached the house of a friend of mine.  I had the keys in my pocket, but s uddenly  I was inside trying to solve the way which two dices were going to make my new five friends returned to their original form. They could be objects again, after all, they had finished their work: save me from the three hounds which tried to hunt me at the forest.   The boy who once was a lamp was the nicest one, quite charming and alluring. We fell in love, but the destiny was not on our side.  I throwed the dices and unfortunately ...

I'm a visual thinker so my references always have been on that side of the creative spectrum. Sometimes I really wonder if I found another interest rather than the visual appreciation in the dance. I know more architects and more fashion designers than dancers or choreographers. Sometime ago searching information for I don't remember what I reached the website of a british fashion designer, Aitor Throup. More than his designs I found really interesting the way he develops his creative process and specifically how he is able to manage his time despite the timing of the industry. Aitor throup is a multidisciplinar platform that explore how different techniques can be apply to the research and design of new fashion objects. This translates in the embrace of a new way of understand the process and breaks the pressure and the need of the fashion industry for present a show/collection at least twice a year. Instead his work present  a serie of patterns, prototype...
