The ugly truth of my career


 Hi people,

Today I am going to write about a bad side of my career, performance design

The name sound great, like a beautiful and fun promise and they taught a lot of useful tools and skills, but in the art world (I dont know if this happend in other spheres) the people, the teavher and the olders have this awful sentence ''The show must go on'' even if someone do you loves die, actually there is a history about a scene director who missed her mom or dad funeral and when I heard it, it seems horrible to me, like how do you set aside your own life for a show? ''And if you dont are agree whit that, you can go out''. So they ask for a kind of sacrifice, sacrifice your life for your craft.

Another thing that I dont like, and this I heard for my classmates too, its the treatment that some teachers gave to the student who dont have a ''basic culture'' about art, I mean, not all of us went to artistic or montesory schools, or we dont have partent who know about art or went to college. About this topic I had a bad expierence whit three teachers, for the final exam I was so nervous and I forget some content, so I couldnt answer and one of them said while laughed: ''Let her, its obvious she dont know'' and the others laughed so loud at my face. I was on first year and that made me felt so insecure for a long time, later I understand that not all the teachears matters that you learn or how you feel and I think that its part of the college experience, but now, I wish anybody happend the same, although the bureaucracy keep this kind of persons and do not listen the students, who are suposed to be the heart of the institutions.

At my first years I slept almost nothing, I used to traveled from Angostura, so I had to woke up very early like 6 am and obviusly I went to bed like 3 or 4 am because they teach to me that I had to do the things no matter what. When I was in 3rd year I said to me: ''no more stay up late, no more crying, the world is not going to end for a bad presentation'' and I start to focus in other things away from college, in my mental health, sleep the apropiate hours and trying to be responsable whitout loosing me on the road; so I learned how deal whit my career, because always it will be stressfull but it will not the apocalypse.

In conclusion I love many thing (practical thing especially) of my career but I dont know if I am willing to leave it all.
