The Creative Arts Center of
Cuernavaca was founded on January 1973, and has held an extensive selection of
cultural events. This organization
was formed gear to promote the fine arts. What
a better way to do so as through stimulating children who are anxious to learn
more about art and to show the public their work. The Children’s Art Fair was
a success! If anyone knows Judie and Jorge Guillen, please call one of the board members. The Guillen´s became members of CACC on February 17, and we do not have a way to contact them. On April 28, at 7 p.m., we will be presenting at “La Batuta” music school, “Quetzalcoatl”, the plumed serpent, in English, a tale of Gods, Monsters and Humans. A solo performance by Stuart Cox, a British actor who now lives in Tepoztlan. “Quetzalcoatl” is directed by Nigel Watson, a Welsh actor/director. Hope to see many of you there, as I am sure you will enjoy the play and the place, both unique. Yours in the arts,
Yolanda
Mendizabal P.S. Gonzo has arranged for us to co-sponsor a trip to Mexico City to see the Chinese Imperial Circus. Its not a circus as we know it, no animals, and mostly acrobatics. But, it’s a truly awesome spectacle and I hope lots of CAC members will go. If we get a good response to this we will co-sponsor other trips to Mexico City with Cmeanahuac.

El Centro de Artes Creativas de Cuernavaca, A. C., se fundó en 1973,
teniendo como objetivo principal la promoción y difusión de las bellas artes
y que mejor forma de hacerlo que con los niños y niñas interesados en
el aprendizaje de la pintura y escultura, quienes nos demuestran su entusiasmo
al participar y mostrar al público en general sus aptitudes a través de
espacios como éste. En ésta Exposición de Arte Infantil y Juvenil tuvimos el honor de
presentar a 61 expositores de diferentes escuelas, deleitándonos con sus obras
a cual más extraordinarias. Todo
esto no habría sido posible sin la valiosa ayuda de Zoila Vera organizadora y
de su comité formado por: Alice Cornell, Harriet G. Guerrero y Bob Snyder.
La publicidad estuvo a cargo de Peter Settels quien hizo un excelente
trabajo. Muchas gracias a
Jane González quien
ayudo a hacer los reconocimientos para los participantes y al
Arq.Jack Wagley quien nos hizo un plano profesional de las instalaciones
y se integró al comité para ayudar en la organización de los lugares para los
expositores. Un agradecimiento muy, pero muy especial para Harriet G. Guerrero
quien nos facilitó las bellas instalaciones del
Cemanahuac y la ayuda de un
personal muy valioso, gracias Harriet!.
Así mismo nuestro agradecimiento a los jueces, Miguel Angel Guerrero,
Francisco Guerrero y Barbara Swartz, no fue fácil y lo hicieron muy
profesionalmente, gracias. Nuestra 3ª Feria de
Arte Infantil y Juvenil fue todo un éxito! El 17 de febrero Judie y Jorge Guillén se inscribieron como nuevos
miembros de Artes Creativas, desgraciadamente no tomamos todos los datos
necesarios para contactarlos y enviarles su boletín mensual, si alguien
los conoce favor de comunicarse con alguno de los miembros de la mesa
directiva. Por último deseo hacer de su conocimiento que el próximo día 28
de abril, a las 19:00 horas, en la escuela de música “La Batuta” ,
presentaremos la obra de teatro
“Quetzalcoatl” en inglés, con el actor británico Stuart Cox, es un monólogo
dirigido por Nigel Watson. Esperamos
contar con su presencia pues estoy segura de que la van a disfrutar la obra y la
bonita atmósfera del lugar; algo muy diferente!
Nos vemos el 28. Esperamos
contar nuevamente con su valiosa presencia.

Quetzalcoatl Creative
Arts will present “Quetzalcoatl,” a
one man show based on the legend of the Feathered Serpent God, on Saturday the
28th day of April at 7:00, in La Batuta. The play stars Stuart Cox and is directed by Nigel Wilson, who came from working with Asian communities in India to Mexico to learn about its culture, studying he myths and legends of the Gods along with other aspects of Mexican Culture. Cox says he learns a new culture by absorption rather then research—talking to people, questioning, experiencing. He finds Aztec poetry extremely useful for entering the minds of the Nahuatl speaking people and appreciating the significance of love, the sun, flowers and the other important symbols.
Both Watson and
Cox are sticklers for detail, especially in recreating items such as the mask of
Quetzalcoatl, which was made by Guatemalan sculptor Edgar Guzman, who based it
on sculptures in the God’s various pyramids.
Note there are only 150 seats,.
So be sure to get your tickets early so as not to be disappointed. Call any board member for reservations.

Children's Art Fair
|
|
The 3rd annual Children's Art Fair was held at
the Cemanhuac Community Education Center, on Sunday March 25th, and was a
resounding success. The biggest ever, 61 budding artists from
21 local schools were on hand to display their art work. Hundreds of
people, CAC members, parents, art
lovers and teachers strolled through the beautiful school grounds admiring
the art work. The show was so successful the CAC was asked by the Jardin Borda to put on another show there in June. I am not an artist but I have to say that I really enjoyed walking through the exhibits and talking to the artists. Almost all the artists attend private school and are accomplished at speaking English. Most spoke English much better then I speak Spanish. On this page are a few pictures of the show. If you have a computer please check out the web site for some pictures of the pictures. |
Health Tip II
Do you wake up 2 or 3 times a night and have to go to the bathroom? Try drinking a glass of Cranberry juice. You might just have a mild urinary infection. The cranberry juice will clear it You can purchase the juice at Aurrura or Sams Club. What I like to do is mix it half and half with either Apple or Grape juice. Makes a nice drink that is not to sweet not to tart.

Quetzalcoatl Let Quetzalcoatl introduce you to a host of Mexican gods, not least Quetzalcoatl himself, the plumed serpent at the heart of ancient Mexico. Quetzalcoatl who fought with his twin brother to make a world for we humans to live in, who created us, brought us food, intoxicating drink and music and song. And is Quetzalcoatl also Topiltzin, a Priest-King of the Toltecs, ushering in a Mexican golden age? A golden age that exists until, mirroring the battle of the god's themselves, the sorcerers of Quetzalcoatl's twin brother, Tezcatlipoca, work their dark magic to bring about Topiltzin's downfall and force him to face his own mortality.
From comedy to tragedy, Quetzalcoatl is an epic theatrical journey through the
mythic landscape of Mexico, using translations of pre-Hispanic Nahuatl poetry,
masks, movement, song and a rich spoken text. Experience
Stuart Cox brings to Quetzalcoatl his experience as an actor and theatre director of thirty years. He is the artistic director of Celebrating Cultures, dedicated to working with different cultural traditions in support of cultural diversity. Quetzalcoatl is directed by Nigel Watson, a veteran Welsh actor/director of the European experimental theatre movement who has also worked in Iceland, Israel, Czechoslovakia, India, the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and Mexico. He adapted and wrote Quetzalcoatl along with Stuart Cox. It is the latest of many successful collaborations between them.

Chinese Imperial Circus The Chinese circus
is a favorite art form among the Asian people. It has a long history with a
distinct national style, evolving from the Chinese peoples everyday life and
working experience. Hence, the evolution to this edition of the IMPERIAL CIRCUS
of CHINA. The Chinese Circus is
totally different from a traditional US or Mexican Circus. There are no animals, except of course for the faux Lions.
The Chinese circus tradition finds its beginnings more than two thousand
years ago in the period of the Warring States. Chinese artists, acrobats and
contortionists are clearly recognized in ancient artifacts as early as the Qin
and Han dynasties (221 B.C. - 220 A.D.). Historical records, ancient relics,
relief carvings on tombs, stone and brick, murals in temples and grottoes and
decorative patterns on utensils show the modern historian that for centuries
audiences have been fascinated by the dazzling performances of Chinese artists,
acrobatics and circus. Although
many kinds of acrobatic acts were in existence during the Ch'in Dynasty (255-207
B.C.), it was the Han Dynasty that saw the art form reach new heights and become
a popular form of entertainment. Most troupes were formed along family lines and
developed skills and routines, which, with
some alterations, are still performed today. Known as the "Pai Hsi" or
the "Hundred Acts", during this period the circus evolved into a
lengthy show consisting of a wide variety of tumbling, juggling and magic acts.
Zh`ang Heng, a great man of letters in the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in one
of his writings, "The Western Capital Fu" many exciting acrobatic acts
and magic tricks. They included "Balancing on a High Pole",
"Jumping Through Hoops", "Hand Feats" and "Rope
Walking" to name a few. Modern Chinese circus, however sophisticated it may
appear, was created and performed by the ancient Chinese acrobats.
