1:22 pm
guadalajara despite living and performing across the world since he was 13 his heart remains in mexico. he recently appeared in a greenpeace film about protecting the oceans. and as a cultural ambassador for his country persuading world call stances to perform and teach that this weekend and as discusses with us the joy adults or the arts in mexico urgently need government support and how young people should have the chance to realize that dreams lead principal of the english national ballet the 2nd and as talks to al jazeera. is a command us thank you for talking to al-jazeera i wanted to start by asking you how you would describe don't sing to someone who's never seen a ballet or never take an adult's call because essentially you believe the excessive will to everyone it's almost a. basic human right i agree with that statement and actually i consider it
1:23 pm
a human right something that it's an instinct that we all have you know we've been dancing for a very long time i think from the beginning of time we've done. for really really just purposes we dance for recreational purposes and. i think that it's. fine to an instrument. that allows you to feel a freedom that there is only certain ways to access in our life and that's one thing through the physical experience that's why for me has been so exciting at different points of my life because when i was just starting to dance it was purely recreation when i started to understand the mechanics and the techniques behind it and it started realizing how bad it was pushing my physical ability to the limit and to discover new limits that was just pure excitement and i the moment that i
1:24 pm
failed that on a stage then i understood what freedom meant to be able to stand in an empty space to create moments that are not timetable that our us real seen gets for the audience and for the person that are creating those moments you had such an unusual childhood to you come from not particularly wealthy family you were educated at home and you grew up in mexico which of course isn't exactly known for encouraging mail but it was your father who made sure you were exposed to it on almost a daily basis i think that was the only reason why you ended up being a ballet dancer and you say i had the fortune of having both my parents the ex ballet dancers and my dad faced a very different sort of reality when he decided to be a dancer his father was an architect very traditional much of sort of. cliché and he said you're in never going to be a dancer. you're going to go to school and you're going to be an architect like
1:25 pm
myself and your brother it's at their so i leave my ground father died when my dad was 16 years old and then he asked his mother for a little bit of money to move to mexico city to the cup to pursue his dream but that meant that he worse basically expelled from his family and he had to find a way of making a living and pursuing these this dream so when we fast forward to when when he started the family 11 children and later with few going to go means my parents decided that downs could be a way you. teaching or some valuable rules basically that could help us in life and also as an opportunity to maybe aspire to have a better life and in that sense my parents decided to teach us at school at home also school because 11 children are very expensive.
1:26 pm
and my parents were not very keen on sending us to the public system. so obviously at that point in mexico was very crazy idea that already they living children were causing issues amongst my parents' families but but it turned out that time prove them right because they were able to give us a chance to pursue things that we were passionate about so we were taking piano lessons at home we were having martial arts teacher coming to teachers my dad was in charge of several subjects my mom was doing and the rest of the subjects we learned english with. and we spoke about politics philosophy that my friends where my brothers and there were those over and there was a great thing you know once we would turn. the age 1516 you could have the choice to go to. high school or university or to dedicate your time to piano or dance
1:27 pm
or things like that and that gave us a lot of time to be able to build on on our own are our passions and they all took. several different roads but my brother stephen and myself fell in love with guns we were actually the least talented physically. but we were we were in love with guns with the mechanics of it the stories that made that word was telling us and that's what made us fall in love about point we didn't have any sort of reference in dance in mexico there was the national company but we were very isolated from from or was happening so we started in the backyard we started taking classes and lungs are my brothers and siblings and my dad thought that we could possibly have talent so we started doing international competitions national
1:28 pm
competitions and when we came on to the world of dan's we realised that we had done something different worse creating a sort of steer you know i mean it's fascinating he literally to chew in the back garden with a railing as the bar and it was a race so it's it's where my where we would hang the clothes and we were only doing buyer because we had no more real space for center also the floor and inclination for the water to run and i remember my dad about point he was telling me don't worry i'm training you for you to be able to bounce of the you know the stage he said little building and when i finally arrived to the paris opera to dance in the paris opera i made sure my dad was there to see it to see it happen because i mean if you if you fast forward in those years and everything that we went through to be there it sounds a little bit like a miracle. when you were 13 you won the. to go and study dogs in philadelphia in
1:29 pm
the u.s. how did it feel at that age to go to a foreign country when you've been in a bubble as you say your siblings is your friends and suddenly you're out there with just your sisters as a companion in a foreign place i remember at the beginning. it's very scary because i didn't speak english very well i was the youngest in the school in the dormitory so that's why my sister was with me and they were said rare thing so everybody was looking at me differently and treating me differently so in that sense it was good and that i wanted to be normal as possible but i also want to to excel at what i was doing so it was an interesting it was an interesting time it god really hard for me there in philadelphia 2 years after i had arrived i go to her needed disc in my back and i was going through my teenage years. and then it got serious i started to think about my life without down's i started to to see
1:30 pm
a real possibility to be able to convey told me that you might not want to get in there i mean you can dance for you it's not exactly that was the hardest thing that at that point in to that point indestructible you know i felt like it was only a matter of time for me to reach my dream job or to be able to dance in the companies that i was hoping for and all of the sudden after one of wonder herschel i couldn't i could hardly walk i lost all the strength in my leg and it was an injury that it's not meant for a 15 year old and usually happens much later in life so i spent 3 months just laying and getting up only for the essential things and those 3 months were mentally very difficult because obviously you go from jumping around then seeing that sort of freedom and that sort of confidence that that dance was giving to my to my identity to not have. being anything really and i know appreciate having gone
1:31 pm
through that because i understood one thing very clearly that i did not want to stop them seeing. very dark period particularly for a 15 year old she also went through a period when you want your brothers died in a car crash but do they experience is painful of course joyful experiences do they help in your performance in any way i mean do you actually use those experiences it's a little complicated. i do think about those things quite often because the very things that change your life forever. one of the most a scary thought i had when i started traveling west to receive a phone call like that you know but at that point i learned that i had a price to pay that the old way of living the price. and he was that you would miss out on many things with your family and you would miss out all the time. with my brother but at the end of the day it's
1:32 pm
a matter of. life and being able to. show yourselves on a stage. not only. physically or artistically but also. with integrity and in order to do that i had to be able to do accept that there was a part of me in that situation happened that situation nice press and with me when i'm on a stage regardless of the role sometimes some roles don't need that sort of heavy stuff but it does give my person and my artistic person a sense of weight because i understand the consequences now making choices in life and i understood that very quickly. you've lived such a healthy life away from mexico you have seen a very proud passionate person about your country when you look at what it's going
1:33 pm
through now with the violence the corruption the drug gangs the. total trumps infamous how does that make you feel about your country some speak quite tough it's a it's a conflicting feeling because there realities about mexico that no matter how. many turns out to. we cannot ignore really there are real issues in my country that need to be addressed for a very long time now it's been very violent it's been very corrupt so i have never tried to cover that up but i have always been hopeful for my country because i recognize and lessons in its people that gives me hope and that made me go back and say there is people here that are worth. working for and we need to be able to do it. well. there was an inspiration
1:34 pm
to go back home to do things different to do things without political and to do things for the well being of individuals the future of the country where you did that you set up and a project which essentially brought international dancers to mexico they would perform a teaching workshops to try to inspire young mexican children but i know that the funding the government funding has now been withdrawn and the projects had to finish is there a sense do you think that the arts culture it's not taken seriously enough or respected enough i think it goes through cycles and that's what i'm trying to break i would like for this to continue on in cycles because then you cannot plan for the future and you cannot see the benefit of the arts in society if you don't give them time to grow. and a lot of a lot of times in
1:35 pm
a country like mexico arts and culture can be interpreted so many different ways and to eat every government means a different thing it can mean popular called theory can mean traditional craft or or it could be can see there as elitist if you're talking about high art and music and dance and theatre and things like that so i've gone through a few. a few different political parties that have been called the time when i started building this project and my main goal has always has always been with them is that peace to see beyond that these to see beyond their 6 year term to see beyond where what they can get out of it or supporting something like this and for them to be able to give time and opportunity for these children to pursue the pursuit up passion. in order for that to happen i knew
1:36 pm
that they needed to have a point of reference and not only the government but also our society in mexico because when i started thinking why why was the reason for the dance not to be taken more seriously i started seeing that a lot of the things that we know about down's goes through generations in mexico so one of the most popular sayings in mexico is if you are an r.t.s. you're going to starve and the other one is that boy don't do ballet and that's. hopi is not a serious profession so based on those 3 main issues that that get passed through generations and their suit that the 1st thing that needed to happen is to change the mind of the parents for them to feel. like their kids. passion could be a profession and you could make a decent living out of it and you could dedicate your life. to the arts and not.
1:37 pm
waste and see the benefits as well in the rest of this is. coming to the u.k. understood the value of the arts for our economy and i saw huge potential in mexico that was not being can see there. in that sense so i started to promote the differing where you've seen arts not only as a tool for the creation but as a tool for social mobility so that a kid that starts dancing in the backyard can make a living and improve his life and by consequence improve the whole country what would you say to people who say mexico has got so many issues to deal with it's the also the top priority that you have to prioritize government funding and it should be going to the arts how would you respond to that and prove why the arts are important i think like i was saying earlier there are many ways of looking at them and what you cannot deny it is the benefit that it gives to an individual and how
1:38 pm
these complement tool that he's fundamental for the element of. of the human ness and the. empathy that that. willingness to allow yourself to feel to connect with other people without words with body language with. previous experiences to share those experiences to be able to sit and create or simply to have. a space in your brain where you can be with yourself and be at peace 88 every day use more valuable for an individual to have those those refuge. in our in our brains so in that sense for me has been a very. very literal thing because it literally include improve my way of life my family. and all my close circle and. bad for people 'd that are for example in
1:39 pm
the government that are worried oh so many issues that are facing mexico at the moment i think that they can appreciate those qualities and installing those qualities in the youth to be able to allow them the freedom to believe in their dreams in their imagination to be able to have. the potential least to have those refuge in their brain to be able to collaborate to work with each other to know what he's like to be consistent to be disciplined to be passionate about something i find that he's a huge sacrifice when a person is forced to giving up their passion or their dream for doing something very sick spectate of them i find that terrible and i find that one of the main issues of our society in mexico is that there are too many people doing too many
1:40 pm
things that they don't like to do so in that sense i think it's worth giving it a go and given a chance to a kid to imagining that anything's possible. that ones you have that the ones that keep has that certainty then you just have to sit back and wait to see what he creates for the future but if he has not that opportunity if he does and how that i mean in his mind then he's just bound to repeating the vicious circle that the government is trying to break in other ways what patients do you have left especially when you decide to stop dancing and i'm hearing you speak of passion i think possibly politics. i mean it's a secret. mission and i've always been passionate about politics. i've been fighting for all these projects to to remain as higher away. as possible us from politics because i believe that we need long term planning for cultural
1:41 pm
projects in mexico to have a real impact so my job has been to be able to not take away the responsibility from the government from supporting and making art accessible bad to encourage also the private sector to build together with the government and the support to me because he's everyone's responsibility in mexico we have a sense of i don't know if you translates well but that. when you expect everything from the government. and that's the case in the arts and i'm against that as well i believe there has to be a combination of both so in that sense it's been politically possible to be able to get. different parts of this is hated to collaborate together. but i've recently got into cinema i made a film last summer with. and i loved it.
1:42 pm
obviously got to work with 2 of the greatest. so i was very lucky in that sense but i got all their opportunities a good offer serious to make a serious now as an actor. i have another film i'm starting to shoot so that opened up a whole different side of side of things that i would like to to explore and that works at the moment because i can make it work with my career i don't know if i can fit it. in between of the fairly i would like to be able to continue to influence and create opportunities in mexico as far away from politics as possible the arts is of an obvious place for you to be campaigning but you also recently made a film film with greenpeace. are you something on environmental activist you think why did you choose greenpeace and when they approached me through the director of the film and. i was really excited because i love. that particular message that they were trying to convey which is the protection of the
1:43 pm
oceans when i started finding out a little bit about. how much of the ocean is actually protected when i learn that it's only 3 percent of the ocean that is currently protected and even if we accomplish 56 percent for it to be protected it would be of a huge benefit especially because once they arrive to the bowed to this but on so boat in bermuda we started going to the smaller beaches smaller islands had and started finding all that plastic everywhere even from tennis shoe to ropes to be just completely covered in plastic and i found that alarming and that was the reason we're decided to. join forces with the director with better alone so on and create the species that is being presented by a bit of them at the u.n.
1:44 pm
