...

For a long time a have been thinking about my writing abilities and how should I improve them. Redaction hasn’t been my strength compare to other communicate skills. I really like blogging because I feel I can talk about topic that matter to me, learn new vocabulary about it and develop redaction skills. Now I my writing has become more fluid and understandable. I remember writing “the ramblings of a mad men without good sense” as the post that represent what I want to learn in this course. That day I was hurried because I had some work unfinished for workshop. And we had to write the blog about an eco-housing theory. I remember getting very angry when I read it and I wanted to express myself, but I couldn’t spend a lot speaking my mind. So I wrote it really fast. I was happy for the final result, I realized how further to can go by only practicing. I could speak my mind shortly in a 250 words-text, composing ideas in a coherent way. I think I have mentioned in a previous post that for half a year a wanted to study literature, so words are sort of big deal in my life and master them is a task I would like to accomplish even in other language such as English.
Thanks for reading my blog (if you have been done it). Goodbye (let’s cry all together)

I have to confess that I have a lengthened list of people I wish to meet and talk. But there is a woman who has kept my curiosity for a few months. Her name is Es Devlin. She is a British stage designer which I admire a lot. In case that you don't know, in theatre exists a person whose job is to design the setting for a play. But what is interesting is that lately, pop-music figures are bringing professional teams to work in the designing process of their stages to complement the concert experience. This is when Es Devlin appears. She started designing play setting, but her talent let her work and experiment with high-budget concert setting. She has work with pop(ular) stars such as: Beyoncé, Adele, Jay Z, Kanye West, among others. And is impressive the sensations she is able to manage to the public. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, look this photographies:

 yes, that is a 6 floor led screen which can rotate in 360° and cut in half



I like to go to concerts, and I really love the experience of having them forever in your memories, so that’s why I like her work that much, because she creates unforgettable experience for those who attends to her production. She also work in the final setting for the last day in London Olympic Games in 2012. I discover her work searching for staging video on Youtube, and it was a nice surprise.

If I have an opportunity to meet her, I probably would tell her to make me her student.
