About Richard Martinez

It doens't have to be perfect to be authentic

Richard Martínez is an international theatre practitioner, somatic explorer, and visionary creator of Human Theatre (the book) and Teatro Umano (the company). With over two decades of experience in performance, embodiment, and somatic intelligence, Richard has redefined the way performers inhabit their bodies on stage. His work is rooted in the transformative power of Energetic Alchemy, where presence, movement, and energy converge to create powerful, authentic storytelling.


Human Theatre

Somatic Presence in Performance Pratice

Human Theatre and Energetic Alchemy explores a somatic, energetic approach to performance that reclaims the body as a site of presence, transformation, and truth. Bridging personal experience, global performance traditions, and embodied theory, Richard Martínez proposes the concept of Human Theatre—a practice rooted in energetic awareness, emotional integrity, and the alchemical power of the performer. Drawing from sources as diverse as Aristotle’s Poetics, Zeami’s aesthetics, Bioenergetics, Lessac’s kinesensics, and non-Western performance lineages, the book offers a dynamic framework that is both deeply philosophical and practically applicable. Illustrated with movement scores, conceptual diagrams, and reflective tools, it invites actors, educators, therapists, and creators to engage the body not as an instrument of form, but as a conduit of energetic presence and healing.
