A Bit About Me
I am a London-based, queer theatremaker, with a focus on creating narratives that uplift underrepresented individuals. I have training as a theatre director, with a focus on radical adaptations. Recently, my focus has also been placed on dramaturgical work, contemporary scenography design, installation and verbatim work.​
​
I was born in Madrid, in the working-class town of Fuenlabrada. At the age of 18, I moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, to study for my undergraduate degree in History of Art and English Literature, at the University of Edinburgh. Since I was little I loved art and theatre. My grandfather was the one who thought me how to read, I immediately fell in love with the written word, and with the stage from a very young age. Participating as much as I could in regional plays and theatrical projects. During my time in Edinburgh, I created my own theatre company, focused on work that would empower artistically the Hispanic migrant community of the city.
After I graduated I moved to London to continue with my training, which I gained through the Royal School of Speech and Drama and the Young Vic. I also participated in various projects that have expanded my skill set as a maker and director, such as Commedia dell'Arte mask and archetype work, the inclusion of verbatim recording in environmental storytelling or, the use of live visual art in theatre.
​
My style of working is collaborative and I bring that to every project. I consider theatre-making as an act of love. You give birth to an idea. That by working with a team, is brought to life and finally set free on the stage. My style of directing is based on trust and honest communication.
