Nuestra Palabra & Alley Theatre Unite for Quixote Nuevo

0

Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say is proud to unite with the Alley Theatre to get this work to as many people in our community as possible during Nuestra Palabra’s 22nd Anniversary season-Nuestra Palabra Style.

The playwrite, Octávio Soliz, wrote Quixote Nuevo. He is also the author of many other plays and the powerful memoir Retablos. He is a Mexican American writer from Texas who understands our daily life, our dreams, how we envision the future, and what touches our hearts.

And the Alley Theatre as one of the leading theatrical organizations in the nation has used all of its genius and resources to bring Quixote Nuevo to life on stage in Houston from Friday, January 17 to Feb. 9th. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Rob Melrose, the Alley Theatre has not only made this a world-class production, but they’ve also made it fun, and engaging, and they are rolling out the red carpet for the Latino community.

The star of the play is actor Emilio Delgado who you will recognize from appearing on Sesame Street for 40 years. In an era where we lament the lack of representation in Hollywood, it is comforting and nostalgic to get to see Emilio on stage and live. For decades he was the lone figure on a national broadcast who looked like us or our family members. It is thrilling to have him in Houston for this performance.

Additionally, The Alley Theatre has cultivated a profound relationship with Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say. We have been involved in developing the outreach for this critical work from beginning to end. No other major mainstream organization in the city or the state and possibly even with the country has worked as closely with a community-based organization for such a major production.

This means that you can expect to hear from Octavio and Emilio as well as KJ Sanchez, the Latina who directs to play, on our radio show Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say Tuesdays live from 6 pm to 7 pm on 90.1 FM KPFT.

You will also have opportunities to meet them in person, to hear about their work, and to learn from them. That’s what Nuestra Palabra is all about, and we’re thrilled that the Alley theater has opened its heart and theatre to our approaches.

This also means those same folks will be visiting the community, and when our community goes to the Alley Theatre-they will roll out the red carpet, and we will be acknowledged. This is a whole new era. I hope that you will have a chance to experience our art and culture in all its splendor.

Didi’s love of music began at an early age, growing up surrounded by musicians at home and in her community.

Didi developed a wide range of talents including piano, percussion, guitar, bass guitar, saxophone, trombone and, of course, the drums. All of these disciplines were self-taught!

Just before her high school graduation, Didi was awarded a scholarship in recognition of her outstanding musical talents, which afforded her the opportunity to train privately under the tutelage of John SanFilipo, a renowned drum instructor in Lehigh Valley, PA.

It was then that Didi realized there was no other profession for her to pursue than a career in music! Didi attended the world-renowned Berklee College School of Music in Boston, MA, graduating with a major in Music Performance. During her time at Berklee, Didi was offered, and is still endorsed by, Vater Drum Sticks, Sabian Cymbals, Gretsch Drums, Latin Percussion, Roland V-Drums and Cympad.

In 2010, Didi represented the United States for the Roland V-Drum competition in Las Vegas, after taking home the title of New York regional winner in the Guitar Center Sam Ash V-Drum Drum-Off.

She has toured with the Roland V-Drum Girl Scouts Rock Band, inspiring and empowering young girls through music, and Didi also toured the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico with a traditional Latin “Plena and Salsa” band, helping to develop her versatile playing style.

Didi was invited to join Cirque du Soleil during the creation process of Amaluna in 2012 and is the first ever female drummer to perform in any Cirque du Soleil show. Years later in 2018, she got asked once again to join the creation process for the revival of Alegria. For this new show, she also has the opportunity to be the back-up band leader. Didi is so proud to be a part of the creativity, passion and beauty surrounding her onstage every show!

5 Reglas Para Cumplir Tus Metas En El 2020

0

En mi familia tenemos una divertida tradición anual. Y es que durante la cena navideña cada uno de nosotros tiene que exponer su resolución de Año Nuevo. 

Mi hermana Liza fue la primera en compartir: “Este año voy a aprender francés” aseguró con un aire sofisticado mientras imitaba un acento extranjero.  Luego mi hermano Héctor creó caos en la mesa cuando confesó algo que nadie imaginaba: “llevo tiempo fumando y he decidido que voy a dejar este vicio”.  

Mi padre, quien tiene unas libritas de más, expresó jocosamente: “llevo años ganando peso y acabo de decidir que voy a continuar este vicio”. Todos nos carcajeamos y, antes de que mis otros hermanos pudieran continuar, el novio de mi hermana en tono burlesco dijo: “los propósitos de año nuevo nadie los cumple y siempre quedan en el olvido”.

Rapidamente pensé: ¿acaso insinua que esta tradición familiar es una pérdida de tiempo?

Aunque me incomodó oirlo, lamentablemente tengo que aceptar que mi cuñado está en lo correcto. La realidad es que sólo una de cada 10 personas logra cumplir sus propósitos de Año Nuevo. Por eso, al final de la noche, mientras saboreábamos el arroz con leche que hizo mi mamá, aconsejé a todos lo siguiente:

1) Una meta a la vez- No digas: “este año voy salir de mis deudas, voy a comer saludablemente, voy conseguir un mejor empleo y ¡voy a viajar a la China!”  Es un reto cumplir con un solo propósito, ¿por qué colmarte con cuatro o cinco? Escoge el asunto que más te afecte y enfócate en eso. Intentar tantas cosas simultáneamente puede obligarte a fracasar en todas.

2) Sé razonable- ¡No exageres! En vez de decir: “Voy a perder 80 libras”, mejor pon una meta más fácil, como bajar únicamente 20 libras. Una vez lo cumplas, te sentirás más motivado y confiado para trazar una meta más grande.

Demandan a ICE Por Detener a “dreamer” a Pesar De Estar Protegido Por DACA

0

Familiares del inmigrante mexicano Jesús Alberto López Gutiérrez, quien a pesar de ser beneficiario de la Acción Diferida (DACA) resultó detenido en mayo, encarcelado y amenazado con la deportación, presentaron este lunes una demanda contra el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS).

Según expuso el abogado Wally Hilke, encargado de la demanda, los derechos del joven de 24 años, que se encuentra desde hace meses en un centro de detención, han sido violados y debe ser dejado en libertad inmediatamente.

La demanda, agregó el jurista, reclama la aplicación de la Ley de Procedimiento Administrativo, según la cual el Gobierno federal debe cumplir con sus propias reglas y “respetar los derechos constitucionales de las personas”.

En la documentación presentada en la corte se establece que López Gutiérrez está protegido por DACA, puede solicitar la renovación del documento y no debe ser deportado mientras exista este programa, aprobado en 2012 por una orden ejecutiva del presidente Barack Obama.

López Gutiérrez fue detenido en mayo en Iowa, cuando viajaba en automóvil con amigos desde Colorado a Chicago. Durante la detención, presentó como acreditación un documento DACA expirado.

A pesar de una campaña pública realizada para pedir su libertad, y una petición firmada por más de 5,000 personas, las autoridades de inmigración (ICE) “evitaron activamente” su libertad, algo que debió haber ocurrido “apenas tomaron conocimiento de su condición de DACA”, señala la demanda.

López Gutiérrez nació en México y fue traído a Chicago por sus padres en 2005, a los nueve años de edad. En 2013 se acogió a la Acción Diferida que otorga un estatus migratorio provisional con derecho a permiso de trabajo y de residencia.

Actualmente el joven se encuentra recluido en la cárcel del condado Freeborn, en Minnesota, desde donde declaró en un comunicado que luchará hasta que se le autorice renovar el DACA y “poder regresar junto a su familia y comunidad”.
