Carlos Martínez (actor)

Carlos Martínez is a Spanish mime actor. He has participated in the formation of various theatre groups and has taught mime and theatre in public schools, at the University of Zaragoza and at numerous international art seminars. He has published two manuals on mime 'In Silence' and 'Word of Mime'.

Biography

He was born the 30 September 1955 in Pravia (Asturias), Spain. At the age of 12, he moved to Barcelona and soon discovered his love for the dramatic arts while working in neighborhood theatre. He attended the pantomime school 'Taller de Mimo y Teatro Contemporáneo' (1980), the performing arts school 'El Timbal' (1981) and studied under professors such as 'Manuel Carlos Lillo' and 'Jorge Vera' (1982 –1987).

From 1986 onwards, Carlos Martínez has worked professionally as a mime artist. He performed all over the world with his very personal languagethat combines his Mediterranean spirit and humor with precise technique and rhythm.

Under the direction of 'Mercè Saumell' he has developed shows such as 'Books without Words', 'Silent Night' (there he performed in ensemble with some of his students), PianOmime (with the German pianist-composer, Johannes Nitsch), 'My Bible' and 'The Human Rights'.

The compilation 'Sketches of Silence' has become a genuine mark of identity.

He has toured extensively in Europe with the Zahorí theatre company presenting 'The Golden Rule/Learning by Doing — A Celebration of our Differences in an Open Europe'. This innovative project involved drama in adult education and was sponsored by the Socrates Fund of the EU.
