Biography
LUISLOCOBRUSCA (La Pampa, Argentina, 1964) is an actor, director, sculptor, and photographer, who describes himself as having been diagnosed as a psycho-clown (though the specifics of when or by whom remain unclear). He specializes in street performance-theatre and body-language, adapting his art to a variety of spaces including theatres, films, circuses, cabarets, and streets. Humor serves as his fundamental tool, and over time, he has developed a unique style that captivates and engages audiences, often leaving them both astonished and attentive.
LUISLOCOBRUSCA began his studies at the National School of Dramatic Art in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His artistic journey continued in Barcelona, where he studied Film Directing and made his initial forays into street performance. His comedic talent was nurtured through the guidance of renowned teachers such as Johnny Melville, Jango Edwards, Albert Vidal, Gabriel Chamé Buendía, and Elizabeth Couchetief in the late 1980s.
He later refined his clown acting skills under the tutelage of John Wright and Philippe Gaulier, explored drama with Ernie Martín (Actors Studio), and delved into body language with teachers such as Tapa Sudana (Mind-Body-Spirit), Yoshito Ohno (Butoh), Monika Pagneux (Body and Play), and Anne Denis (Making Visible the Invisible). His training in experimental theater included working with Stephan Metz and Jan Ferslev (Odin Teatro - 2012).
Since 2005, LUISLOCOBRUSCA has deepened his study of Butoh under the guidance of Yoshito Ohno, Imre Thormann, Jean Daniel Fricker, and Atsushi Takenouchi. This exploration has led him to combine clowning, Butoh, jestering, pantomime, and theater into a form of "body alchemy," resulting in the creation of works such as *GUASAVI*, *AGONY OF NATURE*, and *MR "X"*. Through years of experience, he has become a flexible, multi-faceted professional, fully embodying the persona of LOCOBRUSCA.
