Ballet de la Compasión VIDEO (and peace & donuts of course)

We were invited to participate with a dance video (un video para toda la familia) to a series of conferences starting in Tijuana, Mexico. Then in Washington D.C., USA and finally in Oaxaca, Mexico. 

This video is for  all ages and all races.  It contains words in Spanish, English thoughts, dance and urban graffiti paintings, dancing with a little bit of Mandarin in Chinatown, and dancing with veggies in a very crowded Chinese supermarket.   :)

The purpose of the first conference (in Tijuana) was to create a space to discuss and establish alternative solutions to regional problems, which are part of the lives of people on both sides of the border. For the development of these activities they involved not only college students, government representatives and important academic exponents but also youth groups such as community leaders, urban artists (graffiti), practitioners of extreme sports, urban tribes and so-called counterculture (alternative musicians, skaters, and darketos).


When you work in collaboration with other artists, there are lots of things that you don’t have control over. You work hard doing your part... the rest will be a surprise. I am full of gratitude for all the wonderful friends who worked on this video and made it possible.
Marcos Luger,  an amazing film director from Venezuela (you eres pure MAGIC)
Moises Regla, Mexican visual artist (un amigo foreva no matter la distancia)
Luis Maurette y Alejandra Ortiz, Argentina y Colombia Presentes! (your music has marked our generation profundamente) 
Mayra Enriquez and Mayra Madriz (you are loyal, you are good, you are sweet, you are LUZ)


We all know the huge, THE HUGE problems that Mexico is having. To me, as a simple artist (and so small a human being), it’s amazing, AMAZING (feels so good to the heart) to be part of a platform that produces, creates and looks for SOLUTIONS. Promote peace -- considering the importance of the relationship between Mexico and the United States -- analyze thoughtful propositions, and generate ideas for the dignity of life on the edge.

Muchas GRACIAS to the organizers of these collection of forums.
Carla Gomez Monrroy you  are a remarkable Mexicana.
