  Language:   is the method of human communicati on, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way. For me language has become the character at question during the process of adapting and giving life to this production. Language… what a beautiful thing, it can unite us or separate us, open our souls and our humanity or close it with insecurities L anguage = Cultures and yet. There is another language that opens us up to a better state and furthers our possibilities, the language of art. No matter what language you speak   tonight   you will feel the universal language of dance, be touched by the music, and share the energy of each actor.  These special tools of art make us all better. Thank you for walking into our home to share and celebrate our language, our traditions, and our culture. In finding the right “slang” language for our GALA production, each and every actor has contributed to th...

Here I am, AT LAST some time to catch up to my "other" tasks! Trying to put into words what has been an incredible year of growth and now... The end of December is here.  Has it really been 4 months since my last English blog? I have been nonstop, I mean that literally. Opening the production of ON YOUR FEET took all of our focus, passion and love and it was worth every second of our time. Little did I know that between putting up this new Broadway show and being a father/husband, everything else would have to be put on hold.  R.Evolución Latina always gets it's time because our team is incredible and keeps it all on the go but my own thoughts of ART WITH A PURPOSE and the focus and momentum of SalgadoProductions from the creative part simply had to go into pause mode. We have so many scripts on the table waiting for me to get to, and now... we start; WITH THE NEW YEAR! LOTS AND LOTS OF WORK AHEAD, and honestly...

La vida se trata de extremos y balances para mi. La búsqueda de emociones y la conciencia de mi trabajo, de lo que me rodea, de mi arte y de mi propósito.  La primera semana fue MARAVILLOSA y HUMANA, mucho contacto con otros y la PASIÓN de HACER LO QUE AMAMOS Y VIVIR UNA AVENTURA JUNTOS… TODO ESTO ES MÁGICO Y PERFECTO, pero también reflexione internamente en que muchas veces, es eso que nos hace "LATINOS" en el ARTE y entonces esta semana…. Quiero explorar otro ángulo dentro del mismo ambiente maravilloso que me rodea… Más enfocado en la tarea y con un sentido de ARTE y VALOR DE VIDA, DE MI ALMA, asi di inicio a la segunda semana de TECH en el hermoso Oriental Theatre en CHICAGO. Buscando estar más consciente y ser quizás un poco menos "apasionado", "sensible", "vulnerable" y mantener mi mente más clara en el aspecto técnico profesional de lo que estoy haciendo , de lo que es mi tarea y de lo que me rodea y asi aprender MAS de...
