In these four years I have often agreed with this letter. Four years ago we were starting to hear about the crisis, but still, above all, we were listening. We have already noticed that. And I think about Monica. How and how it would go during these four tough years. Here's what he wrote four years ago.
"Crisis? What crisis? I've been working like many since I was 17 years old. This has been in the profession for 30 years, and according to Social Security, I have another 18 to retire. But what Social Security doesn't know is that my body isn't prepared for that. In these thirty years of profession I have worked in a multitude of activities. Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a ballerina, and that's what I am: a producer, a choreographer, a dealer, a bodyguard, a truck driver, a child of orders, a computer scientist, a professor and a graphic designer, among others, and every now and then, a dancer.
This is not a complaint, I know that hardly anyone cares about what they would like, but the next one who tells me that I am a privileged one to do what I like, I will give you a slap. I don't have a collective agreement, I don't get overtime, I've been for years without knowing what vacation is, and my working hours are 24 hours, seven days a week. I have exploded for many years in exchange for a dream. I'm like anyone, even though sometimes I get applauded in the middle of my job. Yes, in the middle of my day, because after the job I continue collecting things, getting into the van, cleaning clothes, etc.
Now that the world is in crisis, I don't feel so lonely. Everyone suffers from our precariousness and discontinuous work, the freezing of salaries and caches (we have been for years), the need to work in anything and anywhere, the payment at 12 months and not 30 of each month, and to become an entrepreneur and pluralist because he has no other work”.
The photo Monica offers is that of a sector. Her last name is Runde, Monica Runde. Monica Rund studied ballet, contemporary dance, piano, theatre, lighting and cultural production in France, Canada and England and founded the 10 & 10 dance company. In the years 2000 and 2004 he was awarded the National Dance Prize of Spain and Costa Rica.
They were all in food and drink, seemingly cheerful, but some were nervous between snacks and appetizers. He would receive the prize for the second time, but he would be the first to have it in his hands. And I was nervous because the reminder had to get to the office, damn it.... [+]
Even if things change quickly and vividly, some things don’t change: The Light Awards event is one of them. This is what an outside journalist who has come to this chronicler in need has told him, along with the fact that LUZ has changed a lot before the awards ceremony... [+]
Irureta Azkun made an appointment on behalf of the LAR team:
"One of the thousands who make up the LUZ community has recently told us that sometimes LUZ is dark, that there is hard news that moves it inside. That we're doing a good job, but the bad news is knocking his throat... [+]
