I don`t know if i want to course at postgraduate as a master or PhD after finish my career in Theatrical Design in University of Chile, but i would like to take workshops or to learn in littles communities. I would like to do a mask workshop in Bolivia or Brazil. I don't would like about the traditional occidental mask, I want to learn about natives techniques of that people. In this country, the festivals are very good, so professional and whit many dedication. I would like to learn the techniques of Aymara tin masks, wools mask of Bolivia and wood mask of Amazon.
I would like to take workshopo in Chile also, but no in a university. I want to leave Santiago and go to Chiloé for to learn about tessues and loom.
I want to study with aged people, like a "machi", weavers or old mens that will teach me in pleasantly way, without speed necessarily.
This ideas can be so "hippies", but the university was overcome me, I don't collaborate more to this academy system. I think that i should rescue the old techniques of forgotten persons. I have a friend, Belen, and she just to be this in Chiloe now, I want to go whith hem this summer for learn to knitting.
we have the same thoughs on the university system and wishes for the future, I hope we find each other somewhere around the world learning things in a near future. xx
ReplyDeleteUniversity can be itsefl a community in its own right, sometimes rules and regulations can be annoying, but then you'll discover that the people and your peers and teachers can really make a difference in a society that has been fractioned from Art...what you learn here is to be your own person, and how to produce knowledge and art from yourselves, regardless of the apparent 'systematicity' you have already learned thanks to this place to critically assess yourself and your surrounding...so I think being here has really contributed to you being who you are and who you'll become :)
