GALA NOCHE DE LAS AMERICAS 2019 TBA
Creomás, espacio de autoconocimiento, arte y creatividad, en conjunto con el Instituto de la Cultura Hispana de Houston, Texas, tienen el agrado de invitarte a la Exposición Artística “Creadoras”, encuentro que marca el cierre del Taller “Conociéndome a través del Arte” realizado durante el año 2019.
“Conociéndome a través del arte” es una iniciativa nunca antes vista en la ciudad de Houston y fue creada por Leslye Rivera, psicóloga educacional, escritora, artista visual y fundadora de www.creomas.com, con más de diez años facilitando espacios de expresión creativa y desarrollo emocional en Chile y en el Sureste de Texas.
El objetivo del taller fue brindar un espacio psicoexpresivo para mujeres hispanas que desean iniciar o avanzar en su proceso de autoconocimiento de una forma artística, original y consciente, desplegando además toda su creatividad.
Durante el taller, realizado durante los últimos jueves de cada mes, las asistentes crearon diferentes obras de arte en acrílico a partir de un tema específico relacionado al descubrimiento de sí mismas. Algunas de ellas nunca habían pintado en su vida y cada cuadro es el reflejo de un proceso instrospectivo profundo, real, amoroso y sincero.
La Exposición “Creadoras” se realizará el Sábado 9 de Noviembre a las 11 de la mañana en las dependencias del Instituto Hispano, ubicado en 3315 Sul Ross St, Houston, TX 77098.
La entrada es totalmente gratuita y es un encuentro pensado para toda la familia.
¡Te esperamos!

More about Alegría:
Alegría (‘joy’ in Spanish) takes audiences at the heart of a once glorious kingdom now in decay led by the king’s fool and a dusty aristocracy. Carried by an intangible wind of change, an emerging movement from the streets strives to shake this established order, instilling hope and renewal to bring light and harmony to their world. With its joyful spirit, Alegría is a vital, energizing force driven by a thirst for a brighter tomorrow.
In true Cirque du Soleil fashion, Alegría unfolds soul-touching clown antics and remarkable acrobatic performances in a whimsical and immersive visual universe. Perched at the top of the Big Top, gymnasts fly from one High Bar to the next, and leap into the void to reach the hands of mighty catchers suspended on a cradle swing. Using all her limbs, an artist dazzles with her ability to spin and twirl a multitude of hoops while contorting her body with otherworldly ease. Other Jaw-dropping highlights include a daredevil Fire Knife Dancer eating, breathing, touching and juggling with flames; a sublime couple on Aerial Straps soaring through a delicate snowstorm; and fourteen tumblers bouncing off a Powertrack (trampoline tracks) embedded into the stage to perform crisscrossing series of daring somersaults.
