As a PhD candidate, I have taught for three years in the Humanities Courses at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), covering philosophy, critical education, and theatre. As a stage director and playwright, I have created Manual de instrucciones para un espectáculo de títeres (Teatro Real, 2024), worked as assistant director in the opera Tenorio (Teatro Real, 2024), directed Pleasure Island (Real Filharmonía de Galicia, 2024 and Palau de les Arts & ENSEMS, 2022), co-created and directed the opera Hi ha monstres que viuen per a la seva curiositat within the #OHPERA 23/24 cycle (Gran Teatre del Liceu, 2023), Projecte Grimm (Sala Beckett & Teatro de la Abadía, 2022), and Struwwelpeter: cuentos crueles al oído (Palau de les Arts & Teatros del Canal, 2021).

In the field of music education, I have led contemporary music workshops for children and young people such as ExtremActual and Itinerantes in Extremadura (Ras de Terra), Valencia (Festival ENSEMS), and Madrid (Medialab Prado). I was the artistic coordinator of the pedagogical project XENSEMS of the ENSEMS Contemporary Music Festival in Valencia, and I currently coordinate the Seminari Pedagogies Crítiques together with the team of the Department of Education and Artistic Mediation.
