Pina Bausch was a german dancer, her legacy was to install the concept of "dancetheater" in the scenics arts. She was a important director and coreographer dance, her company Tanztheater Wuppertal is recognized by the works: Café Müller and The Rite of Spring.
In 2009 Pina created "Como el musguito en la piedra ay si si si" , this piece was last work, since she died of cancer in the middle of development, so the work was incomplete until the dancers decide to resolve the end. After, it showed in Festival Internacional de Teatro Santiago a Mil 2010. I saw in Teatro Municipal "by far" because I paid for asient in gallery of Theater. The Title is a song by Violeta Parra, the piece had topics relating Chile culture. It was nice spectacle, but was evident the absence of direction of Pina in the end.
This year, in summer, the film Pina 3D was on GAM (Cnetro Cultural Gabriela Mistral), a documentary by Wenders about Pina Bausch, as she died two days before shooting, he interviews her company to assemble the tribute to Pina.

I found a sequence of photographs about different actors, in a article named " Theatre stars backstage" by Simon Annand. He worked with various theatre companies as The National Theatre, The Royal Shakespeare Company, The Royal Court, etc. Likewise with cine, performance and TV. This collection shows industry`s biggest stars as Cate Blanchett, Daniel Radcliffe and James Corden.
Then, I listened to Radio 4 Extra, I didn`t like, I thought that was more interesting because it had a section of drama and comedy, but the stories were boring. So, I visited Music of BBC, I wanted to listen something unknown, British singers or music bands, this site was amusing, a relaxed activity.

Björk

I went to Lollapalooza short time ago, I bought ticket only to see Björk, she has come to Chile twice, but I couldn´t go, so this year was my opportunity. She presented her last album: Biophilia. The concert was excellent, I think that she extraordiary in scene, her voice, orange wig, chorus, the best were the new instruments, because these are unusual: pipe organ, gameleste and TESLA!. I was in first rate, I waited four hours, at the time I had to see others singers or bands, as Thievery Corporation and Cage the elephant. Until Björk appeared in the stage, apart from Biophillia she sang songs of others discos. There were video projections about cells, fractal images and some previous videoclips. At the end she sang Army of me, We were touched, later her technicals threw the set-lists, a friend of my friend Luciano caught one set-list. I took many photos, was an amazing experience.
