The presentation will be a part of the Fall for Dance Festival which will be running from Oct,27th to Nov,6th. The show “Pa’ Cuba me voy” (2001) will be performed by 17 female dancers […]
This Saturday and Sunday I did not go downtown at all. I guess that what kept me away from the centre movement was Haight St. I am sure that enough has been said about the Haight Ashbury hood in the decade of the 60’s and 70’s. People might not know much about SF but they […]
A couple of days will pass and I will be at the doors of a whole new decade. As weird as it sounds I will be a 30 years old woman. But, do I really feel like one? Why the fuss about turning 30? Is there a chip inside us that turns on and suddenly […]
Fernando Perez is well known for the quality of his films but also because of his sensitivity and profound ways of treating the subjects. If someone gives me to choose a Cuban director to portrait Jose Marti’s life and work I would probably choose him out of all the others.

On Sunday, October,9th we danced to the playa music again and got a bit of the vibe from Burning Man, the last bit of energy for 2010. The Decompression Party was probably a 1% of what Burning Man is, a small replica of the most amazing festival and party in the world. The crowd was […]
This past Saturday I took my camera and chose Telegraph Hill as my destination. I walked down Market St. and my first pictures were not of the city architecture but of the SF Occupy protestors. The group passing by with signs was not huge but the energy was not low. I received a flyer and […]
Yesterday we went to Cupertino for a few hours. We strolled around the city hall, public library, had some mint mocha at Coffee Society and walked to the Apple Headquarters, known as 1 Infinite Loop. Several visitors were leaving flowers, baseball caps with the Apple logo and leaving messages for Steve Jobs. Some employees as […]
The San Francisco Apple store entrance is full of flowers, apples and notes thanking Steve Jobs for his incredible work. Sad faces have been drawn, but also messages of people that were inspired by his hard and constant labour to develop and perfect his products, giving us in the end a functional piece of art. People […]
