About Us
A Cuerpo
Pronounced Ah Ku-er-po "o" as in orange
Spanish expression meaning exposed to the elements
A Cuerpo was born from my three passions, love of languages, storytelling and stop motion animation.
I strive to create good quality, interactive, engaging and inspiring stories for children that immerses them in the Spanish language and culture with enough vocabulary for them to recognise and plenty of visual aids to follow the story.
My children have been raised bilingual (and so was I) and I am a firm believer that starting early is crucial for language learning, as well as offering material that interests them and provides a context.
I am half English and half Spanish. I was brought up in Spain and have lived in England for 24 years. I have always felt very fortunate to speak two languages, special thanks to my mum for that gift, and to belong to two cultures, particularly at Xmas when we celebrated Nochebuena (Xmas Eve) and Xmas Day!!! Yum!!!
I studied drama in Santiago de Compostela, Spain and Performing Arts at Leeds University where I was able to follow my interest in theatre and media and gained a First Class degree. I recently completed SM1 and SM2 at Aardman Academy studying the wonderful art of stop motion animation.
A Cuerpo was born in 2008 and I collaborated with other artists and technicians from both Spain and the UK to create "El viaje de Matilde", our first production, which was supported by Arts Council funding.
At present I am very interested in using new technologies, such as VR (virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality) and 360 video, as well as traditional video and stop motion-animation.
I am very happy to announce that I shall be developing a range of online products using these new technologies in the near future.
