The Journey to Art With A Purpose

Dear friends, writers, actors, dancers, producers, musicians, Dear pueblo amado, my loving/passionate Latin people and all of the people I've met that love and understand the value of art, What does it take??? The Happiest Song Plays Last What does it take to make something new? To make something count? To go the distance, in ART? Just like in the story of Rocky ( NOW PLAYING ON BROADWAY ) we, as artists, are all in the quest for a chance to be validated. To make the work reach out far into peoples hearts. I see it coming... The time is here, Latinos are getting a great opportunity to be present and make our work as competive and valuable as any other. Is now when dreamers are standing up and following the path/journey of their dreams and all it takes is a supportive community to keep it going. Wait; What does it take? COMMUNITY!!!! How do we get OUR PEOPLE to fill the seats, to come and have a night at the theater and then invite others. Some times is hard, I know

Hoy desperté con un sueño donde los seres humanos se burlaban y abusaban de los seres humanos.  Había una señora y tenía un ARTE, no sabía yo cual era pues nadie le daba la oportunidad de usarlo. Aunque ella con amor servía estaba siendo oprimida, explotada y abusada emocional y fisicamente. En un momento dado abrió la boca y cantó. Su canto era dulce y lleno de paz, su letra era una de fuerte contenido amoroso, sus lágrimas eran un acto de purificar y con toda su magia desperté llorando. EL ARTE ES NUESTRA ARMA MAS PODEROSA. PODEMOS SANAR ALMAS Y CORAZONES CON EL. LA MUSICA, LA POESIA, LA FOTOGRAFIA, LA PINTURA, ETC ETC. Todo juega un papel protagónico en nuestras tierras, en nuestras mentes, en nuestras almas. Por eso hacer nuestro arte con alto propósito es escencial para los nuestros. Para el crecimiento humano y social colectivo que vamos forjando. El arte es nuestra R.Evolución. Como dice esta maravillosa letra:   Yo quiero un pueblo, que ría y que cante Yo quiero un pueblo,

I am so lucky to do what I love! Sitting here, in the Winter Garden Theatre witnessing the work of so many talented people, all worthy of deep admiration. Professionals of their craft and beyond it all having the greatest human attitude. I am blessed! I feel lucky!!!! Lucky not because things have come easy because that is not the case. From the very beginning of my journey I have worked hard and with passion in what I love. I have fought from the heart! ;-) And little by little the path has lead me to where I am today. THANK YOU UNIVERSE FOR IT! Lucky because I LEARN!!!! A great thing about the journey to art with a purpose is each day striving to keep my awareness as fragile and vulnerable as when I started. And now, I am even hungrier than before as there is soooo much to learn from every department, Lighting, Projections, Sound, Music, Orchestration All of it inspires and teaches me something. Learning from great artists like Alex Timbers doing his work and with such care
