«Me lo contaron y lo olvidé; lo vi y lo entendí; lo hice y lo aprendí.»
«Educar no es hacer aprender algo que no se sabía, sino hacer surgir alguien que no existía.»
¿Porqué enseñar?
No he podido evitarlo, llevo muchos años enseñando, y aunque ha sido algo que me aterra he acabado sucumbiendo. Una y otra vez he caído en la enseñanza, una y otra vez lo he disfrutado de lo lindo. Nunca me ha dejado de aterrar y siempre ha sido una fuente de aprendizaje descomunal.
Tras muchos años de experiencia sigo poniéndome nerviosos como el primer día; cuando veo a los participantes de un taller por primera vez. Incluso en clases regulares, con personas con las que trabajo durante todo un año o más, hay momentos de gran nerviosismo y excitación en muchas ocasiones.
Comencé de manera profesional con 19 años, mientras estudiaba informática me ofreciereon un trabajo para dar clases a desempleados y me pareció algo divertido, el sueldo me terminó de decidir. No olvidaré nunca mi primer curso, con alumnos de entre 17 y 63 años. Nadie me había enseñado a enseñar y estaba muerto de miedo. Tuve la suerte de hacer un buen trabajo y de recibir un caluroso afecto y agradecimiento por parte de aquellas personas, con fiesta de despedida incluída.
Desde entonces no he podido parar, primero informática y después la escena; acrobacia, monociclo, clown, teatro físico, contact y butoh, mucho butoh. He impartido muchos cursos y talleres en diversos lugares del mundo y siempre estoy disponible para recibir nuevas invitaciones, como aquel equipo A; si puedes encontrarme, quizás puedas contratarme.
Todo lo que sé lo enseño. Y sólo cuando lo enseño comprendo que lo sé.
CURSOS REGULARES
Los cursos regulares son una oportunidad para evolucionar tus aptitudes artísticas y técnicas a través de los beneficios de mantener una práctica continuada en el tiempo. Permiten crear rutinas de trabajo y asentar el conocimiento adquirido.
Estos cursos pueden tener diferentes finalidades. Se pueden centrar en al aprendizaje de nuevas habilidades o en el desarrollo de habilidadaes existentes. Tambien se pueden enfocar en la creación escénica o pueden simplemente ser un lugar para mantener una experiencia activa que permita continuar con la evolución personal.
Si crees que hay una necesidad de alguno de estos cursos o quieres proponerme el inicio de alguno, por favor, no dudes en contactarme. Estaré encantado de conversar al respecto.
CURSOS INTENSIVOS
Los cursos intensivos son una oportunidad para disfrutar de una inyección de vida en tu experiencia artística. Ya sea para tomar contacto con mi trabajo por primera vez como para profundizar en las prácticas que propongo. Siempre estoy abierto a nuevas colaboraciones y propuestas.
Ofrezco intensivos de propósito general compuestos por una miscelanea de técnicas de origenes muy diversos para entregar a los participantes una visión amplia del trabajo propuesto, como toma o retoma de contacto. E intensivos específicos especializados en un tipo de trabajo concreto,para profundizar en determinadas prácticas y crear una linea formativa que los participantes puedan seguir para completar su experiencia y habilidades.
mi historia… como profesor
Comencé en 1999 dando clases de informática.
Entre 2005 y 2010 impartí varios cursos de iniciación al clown y de acrobacia (iniciación e intermedio) tanto para adultos como para niños, en formato intensivo y regular.
A partir de 2010 comienzo a impartir clases de danza y teatro físico con una influencia muy grande de la danza butoh. He impartido formación en formato regular, en cursos de 3 meses, como en formato intensivo de entre 16 y 42 horas de duración. Entre 2008 y 2016 había impartido más de 40 de estos talleres en 7 países. También me comprometo con las formaciones que he puesto en marcha, y trato de generar plataformas donde poner en práctica y ampliar los conocimientos adquiridos durante las formaciones.
He sido invitado como profesor a los festivales “Ex…it! International Butoh Dance Exchange”, «Butoh Camp Lab», “Ibiza Contact Festival”, “Ibiza Movement & Performance Festival”, “Namaste Connection Festival” (Argentina), “Ripoll es Dansa” y “Flow Festival Ibiza”. Y tambien a «Kojoteki; festival de butoh y danza experimental» y «Alma Negra; festival de butoh ibérico», invitado por mi mismo a estos dos últimos.
Desde 2015 estoy sintetizando un método propio de trabajo con el nombre de ni.butoh (ni.teatro ni.danza). Comparto mis investigaciones a través de talleres intensivos en diferentes paises y clases regulares en Madrid.
En 2019 he puesto en marcha, junto a Jonathan Martineau el mayor proyecto de formación hasta la fecha. Aula Nostra, formación intensiva de butoh innato, 4 días por semana, 9 meses al año!

«They told me and I forgot it; I saw it and I understood it; I did it and I learnt it.
«To educate is not to make people learn something they didn’t know, but to make someone emerge who didn’t exist.»
Why teach?
I couldn’t help it, I have been teaching for many years, and although it has been something that terrifies me, I have succumbed to it. Time and time again I have fallen into teaching, time and time again I have enjoyed it immensely. It has never ceased to terrify me and has always been a tremendous source of learning.
After many years of experience I still get as nervous as the first day; when I see workshop participants for the first time. Even in regular classes, with people I work with for a whole year or more, there are moments of great nervousness and excitement on many occasions.
I started professionally when I was 19 years old, while I was studying computer science I was offered a job to teach unemployed people and it seemed like fun, the salary made my mind up. I will never forget my first course, with students between 17 and 63 years old. Nobody had taught me how to teach and I was scared to death. I was lucky enough to do a good job and to receive warm affection and thanks from those people, including a farewell party.
Since then I have not been able to stop, first computer science and then the stage; acrobatics, unicycle, clown, physical theatre, contact and butoh, a lot of butoh. I have taught many courses and workshops in different parts of the world and I am always available to receive new invitations, like that A-team; if you can find me, maybe you can hire me.
Everything I know I teach. And it is only when I teach it that I understand that what I know, I can teach it.
REGULAR COURSES
Regular courses are an opportunity to develop your artistic and technical skills through the benefits of continuing practice over time. They allow the creation of work routines and the establishment of acquired knowledge.
These courses can have different purposes. They can focus on learning new skills or developing existing skills. They can also focus on scenic creation or they can simply be a place to maintain an active experience that allows personal evolution to continue.
If you think there is a need for any of these courses or you want to propose the start of one, please, do not hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to talk about it.
INTENSIVE COURSES
The intensive courses are an opportunity to enjoy an injection of life in your artistic experience. Whether to get in touch with my work for the first time or to deepen the practices I propose. I am always open to new collaborations and proposals.
I offer general purpose intensives composed of a miscellany of techniques from very diverse origins to give the participants a broad vision of the proposed work, as a contact or retake of contact. And specific intensives specialized in a particular type of work, to deepen in certain practices and create a formative line that participants can follow to complete their experience and skills.
my story… as a teacher
I started in 1999 teaching computer classes.
Between 2005 and 2010 I taught several courses of clown initiation and acrobatics (initiation and intermediate) for both adults and children, in intensive and regular format.
From 2010 I started teaching dance and physical theater classes with a very strong influence of butoh dance. I have given training in regular format, in courses of 3 months, as in intensive format of between 16 and 42 hours of duration. Between 2008 and 2016 I had taught more than 40 of these workshops in 7 countries. I am also committed to the trainings I have put in place, and I try to generate platforms where to put into practice and expand the knowledge acquired during the trainings.
I have been invited as a teacher to the festivals «Ex…it! International Butoh Dance Exchange», «Butoh Camp Lab», «Ibiza Contact Festival», «Ibiza Movement & Performance Festival», «Namaste Connection Festival» (Argentina), «Ripoll es Dansa» and «Flow Festival Ibiza». And also to «Kojoteki; butoh and experimental dance festival» and «Alma Negra; Iberian butoh festival», invited by myself to these last two.
Since 2015 I am synthesizing my own method of work with the name ni.butoh (ni.teatro ni.danza). I share my research through intensive workshops in different countries and regular classes in Madrid.
In 2019 I have launched, together with Jonathan Martineau the biggest training project to date. Aula Nostra, intensive training of innate butoh, 4 days a week, 9 months a year!
