Jorge Albuerne IN RESiDENCE at the School Martí Pous

jorgealbuerne.wordpress.com

I was born in Oviedo (Asturias) one year before the death of the dictator…

I graduated in Fine Arts (sculpture and ceramics) from the UPV/EHU and since 1998, I have been studying and practising disciplines related to the world of movement and dance. In this regard, I have been part of companies such as Las Malqueridas and RaraAvis.

In 2000, I started specific training in the area of circus disciplines (until then I had been self-taught), including acrobatic poses, mini trapeze and Chinese pole.

I have been in various companies that have always tried to work from the perspective of this blending of visual arts, movement, circus, writing, etc. These are the origins of Zirkus Frak, Cecilia Colacrai/Jorge Albuerne and VAQUES company.

As a solo artist, I have created the shows Señora!!!, dos, KungFú(hundido), AzzURRo, Anderdesí and NOMARRAMON.

 I have taken part as a performer and/or co-creator in various projects and in collaboration with other creators from various fields (circus, theatre, dance, visual arts, audiovisuals, etc.) including:

Rosa Muñoz, Cecilia Colacrai, José Luis Redondo, Taxio Ardanaz, Antic Teatre, La Poderosa, Tin Can Company, SIDE Kunst Cirque, Les Antonietes, Hui Basa, Colectivo NAQBA, Nilak, Circ Teatre Itinerant, Circo Raluy Legacy, etc.

I have also supported and coordinated creative processes in the roles of external observer, direction, searching for material and/or writing, for Envà, Buit, C%RC, En Ebullició, Combinats de Circ 47 y 53, DOMUS (Trapezi 2014 opening), OvviO, Sweet Chilly, CRECE 2020, etc.

As a teacher, I have given training courses in Chinese pole and/or movement in various centres in Europe, Mexico and Argentina.

I currently live in Barcelona and I continue to work as a performer, creator and in stage support, as well as developing the ‘writing/dramaturgy in circus’ workshop (d) Escribir el Riesgo (FICI Buenos Aires, CAU Granada, Encuentros Dramaturgia 9Barris).

However, in addition to all of these fortunate encounters, I have also had unfortunate, insignificant, forgettable and everyday ones, which I will not name but which have made me what I am today.

This is the second time Martí Pous has taken part in IN RESiDENCE. For the tenth edition (2018-2019) Cristina Checa took up the residency with a group of 2nd-year compulsory secondary education (ESO) students.

The Institut Martí Pous was created in 2017 and forms part of the set of cultural and educational facilities located at the Fabra i Coats complex. The neighbourhood with the Fàbrica de Creació, the Art Centre, the Ateneu L'Harmonia, the Biblioteca Ignasi Iglésias - Can Fabra, the Taller de Músics and the CRAB - Centre de Recursos Artístics de Barcelona, among others, helps to enhance the importance of this institute as a cultural production centre, together with the Escola Bressol La Filadora, Escola Can Fabra and the Institut Vapor del Fil.
