Art unites us with the universal language of emotion | Emilia Acevedo | TEDxGrandPark
From creativity to collaboration, art teaches us some of the most important human values and to feel our emotions. Art gives us a way to share those emotions with other people through a universal language that we can all understand.
Emilia started dancing when she was three years old, singing when she was nine, and acting when she was fourteen. Her passion for the arts grew more and more with every year, so she decided to leave her home in Mexico City to pursue theatre in the United States.
Emilia won the 2018-2019 Theatre Spirit Award for her contribution and dedication to the Theatre Department at Idyllwild Arts Academy. She is a firm believer in striving to be a citizen-artist, working to reimagine the meaning and power of art to impact and transform our world today. Emilia started dancing when she was three years old, singing when she was nine, and acting when she was fourteen. Her passion for the arts grew more and more with every year, so she decided to pursue theatre moving from Mexico City to Southern California.
Emilia has had the opportunity to not only act, sing, and dance, but she has also written several plays, one of which was put on the stage last winter. She also stage-managed a devised musical and directed a touring musical which is currently being taken to elementary schools around California. She enjoys spending her spare time volunteering to teach theatre to children on the weekends and helping spread the importance of the arts in education.

'Emotion' is the only language that art has made for us to understand each others feelings
"People are scared to say how they feel because it is regarded as a weakness, instead of it being an incredible sign of strength to speak for what you care about."
Very true... Art has both tangible and intangible.. Art is a medium that doesn't speak but it give us sense of feeling that we can't imagine sometimes
Children in touch with this beautiful language actually stand out. Their eyes, and all senses show. They just SHOW, encourage teachers, parents, tutors to raise our new generations in touch with this beautiful and unique language and their own feelings.
I’m an artist and Art Therapist and believe that our unconscious (aka soul) communicates ideas and thoughts through art. There are many symbols that it uses. I have hanging in my wall an abstract painting I made in 2010 and it’s a sort of Oracle because I’m seeing things in it that are coming true for me in 2020. It’s truly magical!!! ✨ I recommend you get some art supplies and start scribbling!
Yes, Emilia. Teach us.
I loved it the most inspiring words I would love to do what you’ve done. I totally agree with you
thank you , art is the best way to communicate
Love this! Anyone else feeling artistically inspired in quarantine ?
Inspirational! Thanks for providing and rekindling the motivation to create. What a wonderful delivery you did here. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
True , Art is a Universal language and people involve in Art are Teachers and Students both, for those willing to embrace it
I deem everything in life can teach us a lesson we have just be willing to learn , It's True that we are in quarantine these days and i guess lost of us were kind of upset to alter our life quickly cuz we get used to go out , working, , meeting , drinking tea etc...
Well spoken! Muchly appreciated. We may not get government monies for arts and so on, but you can always start up community theatre. This is where talent is formed, sometimes found and most of the time to fellowship with new people ( strangers) after the final curtain.
Real Art is freedom, no surprise that The Power doesn't like it.
So proud of you Emilia! <3
YES EMI!!!!
Very beautiful words Emilia! Art is a way of expressing. Art is everywhere, and our life is an art too. Let us create more and be brave to express our feelings freely. May the ART be with YOU ^.^

Unspoken truth of art....
