De Héctor a Javier

Abstract

This paper presents a group of reflections about a specific context, my training as a dancer who is at the end of an undergraduate program, and is training and dancing in two different places. One, where classical dance is mainly taught, and other where traditional Colombian dance and contemporary dance are trained. These reflections were generated according to questions that were made to me at Orkéseos, about how I assume dancing in my life, how it is understood and performed. As a result of the introspection that I made about my way of dancing, I established the creative, directive and interpretative work of "Coco" and particularly, the construction of its main character, Héctor Rivera, as a pretext to make connections between my personal life and its importance at the moment I get on the stage. The exercise I do in this paper corresponds to my work with Danzastudio Escuela de danza during the current year in order to recognize my artistic work at this point in my career.
