Richard Mascherin (1992) is a Canarian creator who focusses on contemporary performing arts and audiovisuals. He graduated in Madrid in Contemporary Dance (Mariemma Royal Conservatory of Dance), he holds degrees in General Film Direction (Metropolis Film and Theatre School) and a degree in Film and TV Stunt (Angel Plana Stunt School in Madrid) and he is officially accredited by the International Stunts Academy of Moscow (I.S.A.). He has also done stage work with dance companies such as Sharon Fridman in the works Free Fall, Hasta dónde...? and AllWays (2015-2019) and La Veronal in Pasionaria (2019-2022), among others.
One way or another, since 2015, falling has been a constant in his career as an interpreter and a creator. At this time, he is directing his project, which branches into different performative forms and proposals in which the inevitability of falling is the core concept of his research and creation. The project explores and links different media: dance, performance, video and photography. Since then, he has created different performative proposals such as Caer, caer, caer, Vacío espiritual and Cae conmigo, as well as audiovisual proposals such as He aquí un cuerpo que cae and CAE for dance festivals, art centres and film festivals.
It has been supported by entities such as Centro Coreográfico Canal - Teatros del Canal, Graner Centre de Creació, Konvent Zero, L'Estruch Fàbrica de Creació, Spanish Embassy in Rome, Fiver Dance Film Festival, Masdanza, Tenerife Espacio de las Artes - TEA, Cabildo de Tenerife, PiedeBase, Festival Danseu, Mapas Fest, Centro Coreográfico de La Gomera and Derida Dance Center (Bulgaria), among others.
