A portrait of Oscar Bueno

1985, Avilés, Asturias. I’m graduated in piano in the conservatory of Avilés. I’m graduated in Performing and Drama theater. All my practice moves non-stop between the musical, the choreographic and the visual, in a more or less premeditated way. I am an author but I also work accompanying processes by other artists, which lead to theaters and hybrid contexts of the European experimental scene. I am a performer in both fields, and I am a musician. Visuality or work in drawing shapes a central exploration in my work, which communicates with these other disciplines in a natural way. I consider my artistic work is an hybrid between music (and music composition), stage, action and image. I haver presented my work and collaborations in spaces like: Mercat de les Flors, Teatros del Canal, Centro Conde Duque, BUDA, Kaai theater, farº festival, La Casa Encendida, MACBA, CA2M, Museo Reina Sofía, Matadero Madrid, etc.

I have also obtained various artistic residencies that have allowed me to have quality time to develop the issues surrounding my artistic works. These residencies have taken place at Casa Wabi, Graner, Casa Encendida, Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico, Conde Duque Center, and Teatro Principal de Terrassa.

Now I am part of the Dorothy Michales collective that focuses its activity on the pursuit of sustainability in artistic practices and positions itself as a supportive network among agents and resources to provide possibilities for the work in the field of expanded performing arts, with a particular focus on choreographic and performative developments.

I maintain different open processes that are connected to each other and that have been developing over the years and that have crystallized or are crystallizing as follows:
