Feeling the most beautiful

" Are our actions helping others find a way to feel freer, more dignified and more beautiful?"

I read this question from an article wrote  by Jacqueline Novogratz : What Are You Doing When You Feel Most Beautiful?

This year we worked very hard creating "A memory from the future / Un recuerdo del futuro" and instead of going

to hospitals, refugees, senior centers, youth shelters... we are bringing them to our home at studio 8 berkeley. 

And we feel the most beautiful. I want to dedicate all this beauty to my father Rodolfo

"The Tea Dancers/Ballet de la Compasión" invite you to a mystical, naive (sweet bizarre)

curious bilingual-multimedia show that includes aerial dance, live-painting, and poetry.

WOW!
This past Saturday we had a long rehearsal at this beautiful mystic island, together with 40 more artists. We had to spend the night at the... prison. Yes, you read it right!  we had to sleep in the prison cells!  oh my goat!. So scary. Really, I’m not superstitious, but how I bitterly regret not bringing some... garlic!  
WHAT. an. INTENSE. Experience.

grate-fully, grace-fully  dancing for the ones who have it All;  then dancing for the

ones who have nothing.  NADA.

We are the bridge.

Querida mamita.

Quiero decir que estoy profundamente conmovida por la situacion actual de nuestro planeta tierra, puede sonar chistoso, pero desde mi corazon sincero lo digo con toda honestidad.

Estos dias he cargado en mi mente un pensamiento muy pesado con respecto a mi amor a la danza; talvez si yo hubiera sabido que las cosas nunca se iban a mejorar, que al contrario estarian peor, talvez hubiera reconsiderado mi carrera como artista, de todas maneras te digo gracias por apoyarme.

These days I haven't stop to think about the idea and feeling useless like a dancer and artist, I mean what can a dancer do against war, jump and dance in front of the troupes?, or go and dance in front of the White House like a one more exhibitionist, or an angry activist? keep dancing whit the dance company?. I know dance is one of the best healing modalities in the society, anyway these days I feel that maybe you shouldn't let me dance, and I should go to study International Relationships or something like that and bring more support (I mean tangible support) to the forces of good.
