Aprovechar los disparadores de la vida | Olaya Alcázar | TEDxYouth@PaseodelPrado


with five years old I had my first

professional experience on top of a

stage

I had to play a piano piece

in front of a lot of people to remember

what was called the dance of the rain or

the dakota dance finally brings me

very much of that day in a room

huge like this one is very similar

large varnished wood soundproof

olea new there was a grand piano

huge also with the one who had

dreamed of touching my whole short life because

I had an acoustic wall piano

rows and rows of older people very well

dressed my teacher looking at me and

Then I was at the door

all dwarf about to leave

obviously freaking out with that people

I was there to see myself and not

wanting to defraud that world that is

was in front of me or memorize the

song a lot came running out of the

school I was going home I sat in the

piano

the one played in a loop over and over again

my friends came to my house to call me

to the bell to go down to play

park with them but I told them that

I was not looking for any time

moment to practice and repeat the

piece memorize so much that the day of

concert then I was stuck in a

part of the score and at that time

I said good, nothing’s fine, it’s okay

I turned to the public and with all the

naturalness of a five-year-old girl

I told them I was going to start over

this time I was going to get it right people were

River

It was funny the first time because I

happened three times three times I stayed

stagnant in the exact same place of the

score at the end I did not know how to continue

I blocked and I ran out of there

imagine I started crying with my father

I took out my fears and my insecurities

with him because he was a musician he had me

what to understand is what happened to me

yes but I really was not like that when

I was two years old experimenting with my

I love to play on the piano

show me to the world what I was capable of

when I went down to the bar to drink beers

with his friends he went down with her

I went up to the bar to the bar

singing to repertoires so that

people chose

his favorite subjects he also told

my parents who would nail me with the

camera that we had and I did

I used to make my music programs

of dance entertainment and each

person who came to my house forced him

to see that video to finally it was free

spontaneous there was no shame no

there was pressure was quite heavy

also that yes but suddenly because

not because all that freedom had been

vanished that I could have done in my

five year old girl’s head the day

of the concert part of running away and

to cry because I was not

conscious still there but the rules and

the convictions of society already

they had installed in me

in a certain way the fear of failure the

search for perfection without giving

place to error

you never have to improvise and you have to

know everything at your fingertips because of course

we can be in evidence

obviously if I’m going to follow that path

I would not be here now in front of

you would not even dedicate myself to what I

I dedicate

but what can we do not to get out of

that loop in which we have gotten without

give us an account then give us what

visceral intuition of the

improvisation and why you will think not

they have always told us what to do

ready to think things consciously

be rational and it’s normal that we think

well considering that up to

relatively few years the majority of

social psychology is founded

where we have to be guided by the

logic for the reason

in fact theories like this have been

awarded with notorious awards such as

the one that received psychologist and economist

daniel kahneman a Nobel Prize in 2002

for refuting theories like this one but

studies like those of the dunbar professor of

Yale University in the United States

they have made us realize that the

part related to the unconscious

preceded in the evolutionary time to the

part of the brain associated with

conscious therefore we survive

for hundreds of thousands of years

with that unconscious and not necessarily

useful and adaptive mechanisms

unconscious that guided our

conduct during those hundreds thousands of

years of survival but that is the

unconscious

the unconscious is capable of processing

about 11 million bits of information

per second about 11 million

stimuli not facing 40 or 50 of the

conscious part of us without giving us

account we make everyday decisions and

important every day of our

life with that unconscious part like the

clothes that we are going to wear to go to

work or if you turn left or

right decide if we’re going to live with

that person with whom we are having

a relationship or even when someone

we like it, we do not like it at first sight

here we are using using what

it’s called the heuristic cognition that

is based on intuition and

simple principles that is to say it’s like

a screen that ignores certain information

to make the speed up the taking of

almost automatic decisions because

really if we take that

decision is with with our part

consciously it would take years and years in

reach the end of that decision

but this is screening this filter is of

influence by tools

obviously that we have

acquired over time as our

training

our studies the external factors

the culture the tribe the opinions and for

course our personality and our

feelings therefore despite what

who have told us all this time

our unconscious is a being

sophisticated

so why not pay attention to that

part of us that has

provided survival all

these hundreds of thousands of years

well I see you I am not

neuroscientist I am an artist and we

the artists to those millions of bits and

of information stimuli by

second

we call them triggers triggers

that accompany me when I compose a

song or like without realizing spoken

from a story about someone else’s own

how like those

those external factors that training

my personality have given me a point of

creation and an artistic path in the

that I am now writing a

story when in the subway because seen

an old lady who evoked me

nostalgia

I have sung the same song

in totally different ways

depending on my mood of

my feelings of how I was

that day has influenced me too

a lot when it comes to getting on a

scenario and I behaved in a way

different although obviously we do not want

for the stimuli and for what to me

surrounded

at that time you can say that they are

triggers help me get my

more immediate goals to survive

on top of a stage when I do

music when he improvised

but what happens in the brain of a

musician when he’s improvising

Doctor Charles Line

researching for more than ten years

to learn about it

and the truth is that I with things

fascinating for example when I

I improvise the top of my

brain where are the

activities related to

self – censorship planned activities

descends its activity that is when

improvised a stage I am much more

free than in my real life when

also improvised the areas that

activate in my brain are very similar

which are activated when we are

dreaming

specifically those of the state of dream rem

therefore really yes there is a

connection between dreams and

improvisation

everything is fine when you improvise and when

improvises in the center of milo bulo

front where are the

activities that are related to

the personality the subjectivity and the

self-expression increases its activity is

say I’m much more myself when I get on

a stage and let that feedback

between the public and myself could be

to say that he undressed my soul not and you

also improvise even if you do not

create improvise and right now it’s

improvising in this moment in which

there has been a failure with him with the piano

and we laughed at the gestures that I was

exposing each each pose that to

listen to me talk every conversation that

you have with each different person is

different is totally different when

long jce a beer a coffee because

you are having fun but up to date

next you have to get up early

you think, my mother, but what a pleasure

I am when you go to your house

when you leave here you will continue

improvising in the subway dodging the

people driving up to you

homes because it really scares us

admit that we improvise but we’re

constantly doing constantly

I’m sorting through adversities enjoying

of every moment that gives life but

there’s something that I’m really passionate about

and that has a lot to do with what is

improvisation and that the ephemeral

first the value of the ephemeral what

a second is created and what

goes to what what turns us on not like

when I get on a stage and I have

an improvisation with the conversation

of my mind how he created a song in

a fraction of a second with people with

musicians that I do not know

absolutely nothing and that surely

do not see again in my life does not matter in

what part of the world will find me what

language is the one we were talking about

if we were on the street in a

scenario in a studio or like when

he came down from a stage and someone

give a smile a hug I did what

wonderful that is that he has returned to

make feel without fear

you have stopped to think the amount

of moments experiences experiences that

they pass in front of us and that

we do not value if we are capable

to discern with our five senses

which is what makes us smile that

I remember tennis engraved on fire in the

soul that is what produces us nostalgia

which is the largest mountain that

you had to climb that raffle and

which is what makes us continue in the

path is aware of us but you know

what it takes the brain to take

quality decisions 0,200 40

milliseconds and we spent the

life controlling us looking for the way

perfect and believing that the more

laps we give our part

the world will be better aware

while our unconscious with their

triggers with their stimuli us

is giving away time and creativity

that many times we do not know how to take advantage

I would really like to give us

we make a valuable ephemeral moment

here now all not with the value

that deserves that ephemeral moment of the

improvisation

here now intense and never again

so if you allow me I’m going to put

at the controls

I’m going to create a base and then I’m going to

ask for words and feelings

sensations does not have to be of

today you can say absolutely

what you want and we are going to make a

song among all

after

[Music]

[Music]

well now this is our time to

that you tell me words and 12 been

stimuli so please can you

say me words

paid a high and in the end everything is free

of the word date I’m going to think that

or that being and I summer energy
