Biography

He was born 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).[1]

From 1982 onwards, Carlos Martínez has worked professionally as a mime artist all over the world.

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'.[2]

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 project involved drama in adult education and was sponsored by the Socrates Fund of the EU.
