The Journey to Art With A Purpose

  BWW Review said:  ON YOUR FEET! La Historia De Emilio Y Gloria Estefan! En Espanol! at Gala Hispanic Theatre " Choreography by Mr. Salgado is sizzling, stylized and technically proficient throughout the production. A huge ensemble of terrific dancers exploded on the stage space and these dancers danced up a storm with verve and electric energy." " Direction and choreography by Luis Salgado and (associate director) Valeria Cossu have enhanced the fascinating source material of the Estefan and Fajardo family by giving the more intimate scenes as much heft as the dance numbers. A gentle and kind spirit hovers over this entire enterprise, even in the most emotional and intense scenes, and it is refreshing to see this quality in a musical."

Siempre me pregunté cómo caminar hacia la verdad, pero.. ¿Cuál es la verdad? ¿Cómo caminamos cuando el mundo se ha detenido? ¿Cómo conectamos? ¿Cómo entregamos? Son tantas las preguntas…  Con este sentimiento de haber perdido el control en nuestro universo, ¿logramos ver cuán vulnerable somos? ¿Supimos encontrar en el conflicto presente un momento para observar profundamente nuestro status humano y valorar el regalo de la vida?

Una mezcla de percepción, de ritmo y de disciplina. Porque si… cada uno de nosotros necesita justamente eso: un ritmo, una disciplina.  La desilusión humana por el sentido de incapacidad, nos hace tener que confrontar nuestra realidad interna, personal, de relaciones y de prioridades.  Este momento es crucial.  En algunas amistades cercanas veo el sufrimie...

Thank you to everyone who supported this Journey... From those who traveled from their homes in Latin America, to those who took the TIME to travel on the subway to 59th street. We feel inspired because of you. We have shared so much and now we share your BOUNTIFUL words...      "Bountiful (A teacher's journey) is a celebration of culture, love of self, allowance of the convergence of differences, the acceptance of all who commit to the love of others, and the encouragement  for all to reach their goals in everything in life because it is at our potentials that we find the best of who we are, and the most beautiful us we can present. My description sounds long winded, but the show was all that, and a pure inspiration... It is a show that I need to see every day just to get through the next day feeling as wonderful as I did today." - Michael Blake (D irector Joffrey Jazz Program)   A Glimpse Into The Journey ...
