Mabel Olea
Mabel Olea is a dancer and choreographer. She trained at the Conservatori Superior de Dansa of the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona, with a double focus in Choreography and Performance. She was nominated for the 2024 Butaca Awards and won the 2024 Dansacat Award for Best Dance Performance, as well as the 2024 TimeOut Award for Best Emerging Artist. Since graduating from the Conservatory, she has been continuously developing her creative work, refining her style and her infinitely adaptable body to explore themes of love and clumsiness in JAPAN (2020), the city and its different forms of interaction and expression in THE BIG CITY, a multipart piece that began in 2020 and continues to the present, and beauty and the grotesque in CUT ONE’S TEETH (2026)… as well as other performances and small-scale works that contribute to the creation of a diverse and expansive creative world.
In addition to her work as a creator and movement director for other projects, she has collaborated with nationally and internationally recognized artists such as Marie Gyselbrecht (Peeping Tom) in Nest, Marta Pazos in Comedia Sin Título and Orlando—in the latter serving as movement director—, Núria Guiu in Supermedium, Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo in La Mesías and La Bola Negra, and Chapters of Celebration by Benjamin Abel, a production co-produced by the International Arts Centre DeSingel and the biennial art festival Europalia.
