Maria Piedad was interviewed by the
musician based in California, King Swami
for The Bright Seed. His work, together with JWG’s, is to create
“simple, elegant and attractive music” for other artists such as
choreographers, film makers, digital artists, etc. Their work is natural and
strongly connected with love, peace and living harmoniously with other fellows
respecting our planet Earth.
Modern times has made us live in a
quick and non-stop society that, sometimes, loses connections with spirituality
and nature. Modern life also makes us live in an extremely technological era,
fact that is advantageous if we realize how lucky we are to be able to shorter distances
and easily cross any border helped by the internet. The cyber space made this
interview possible with the plus of having met such a wonderful artists living
on the opposite coast of the country.
It was very interesting as an
artist to recap how dance has modeling my life and career since very early
stages as a child and adolescent. How ballet has brought me to very different
places and societies to learn from different people, cultures and countries has
been core for building my life philosophy and professional practice. Along the
interview, artistic influences, experiences, mentors and masters were emerging
showing to me, one more time, how lucky I am to be able to make a living with
my dance, my childhood dream that became true and continue being part of me. Family,
teachers, classmates, friends, students, colleagues, among others have been
part of my life journey.
