The Journey to Art With A Purpose

It’s been a month here in front of the ocean taking some time to feed my soul. Nature is so magical, so healing, so powerful. She re-constructs, cleans, and rejuvenates in such a magical way….. Now I return to the NYC… To work , to speak , to write from another point of view, to be in my home and from there take new action . “Before I go, I take in the ocean and the sand.  I try to find out how I can keep that with me, and integrate it in my NYC home. I must BE Present, I must BE FULLY; I must be complete and open to give the best of me. And if I fail, forget or doubt the memory of the ocean and the peace I felt here, I will be find it again in any ounce of water or human life around me and it will manifest again…  I look into the sea. While I seek guidance, I realize that under the sea there are SO MANY LAYERS, and such DEPTH that we may never understand.  This water that now surrounds me -as my body enters it and I allow its temperature to change my own- it is...

I should write this in Spanish? NO, I should write this in English... ummm, I should write this in every possible language and  then  write it on my skin. Because   in truth I do not know what my  role ,  duty,   or  want is anymore... But I am here daring to search for the answers in the middle of the unknown.  I have lost the north, the path, the light of the way, so many times in so little time.. I know there is light waiting for us all to discover. P erhaps this present time is a gift given  by the miracle that living is, so we can regain the strength of all that is basic and real. We lost the way to HUMANITY because we had our eyes blinded by power and ambition.  I have lost so much time… so many times... in so little time… ACTION IS REQUIRED. Holding hands, aiming to see eye to eye, respecting each other and valuing the natural world, the “thing” we should treasure most.  In the present time,...

What an incredible month of inspiration, empowerment, going beyond and making ART WITH A PURPOSE.  Some of te deepest Purpose by the way... To fully be alive and to fully explore ART! Through this collaborative process R.Evolución Latina empowered our Latin community from around the world, we honored and celebrated the legacy of Raul Julia who proved that the “impossible” dream is indeed possible. 36 hungry artists have embraced this opportunity to grow, evolve and experience something new.  To devise and direct TO BE OR NOT TO BE - A SHAKESPEAREAN EXPERIENCE for revolution latina was a re-assurance that we must always follow our HEART! The collaboration with Ian Hersey and Leon Ingulsrud was wonderful and we are already dreaming of whats next! Seeing how people perceived the work has been inspiring... "All these talented artists were under the guidance of the most esteemed Luis Salgado for an entire month. Talk about dedication and stamina! I knew it wo...

My non-profit organization R.Evolución Latina concluded tonight the 2015 Beyond Workshop Series. It's been so rewarding seeing this students grow.  The BWS started February 23rd at The National Dance Institute for Learning & the Arts, and had its' first student sharing as part of the dance program on March 6th under the direction of Rickey Tripp and Gabriela García.  The second part of the program, started March 9th focused on Shakespeare and Voice and concluded tonight with a presentation of the students work.  Seeing them take the risks and go beyond in every artistic and human step is something that I can not really measure at the moment. I must wait a bit and see the result of the planted seeds in them.   The first 2 weeks of the program was focused on dance, ensemble building and expanding cultural exchange under the idea of Daring to Go Beyond. It's been 8 years now that R.Evolución Latina has been promoting community empowerment ...
