Óscar Bueno has a Bachelor’s degree in Dramatic Arts, a Professional Degree in Piano, and a Master’s in Stage Practice and Visual Culture from the University of Alcalá de Henares in collaboration with the Reina Sofía Museum.
Since 2010, he have been developing their own work, constantly moving between the musical, choreographic, and visual realms, sometimes in a more premeditated manner. He is an author but also work by supporting the processes of other artists that lead to theaters and hybrid contexts in the European experimental scene. He is a performer in both fields and a musician. The use of visual elements and drawing is a central aspect of his work, naturally intertwining with these other disciplines. His practice is primarily focused on creation but he has also developed educational projects in various educational and artistic settings.
Óscar has presented his work and collaborations in different venues such as 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, PNEU Salzburg, Tanzquartier, etc.
