Osel González has been playing theatre since he was a child. In 2008 he decided to take the first step to turn his passion into a profession and went to Barcelona to train at Estudis de Teatre Berty Tovías, where he discovered the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq.

Later he graduated in Classical Philology from the Complutense University of Madrid in the 2009-2013 class. Just a few months after finishing University, he enrolled in the International School of Mime and Gestural Theatre Nouveau Colombier, where he discovered the art of mime from Marcel Marceau and Etienne Decroux. He attended a third experimental year on “full/expresive mask” mand ended up becoming the first student in studying the Pedagogical Year lead by his master Arturo Bernal.

He currently resides in Amsterdam, is embarking on two theatre projects in the making and teaches courses on Composition, Movement, Masks and Puppets.
