Set Designer / Lighting Designer
Honduran born designer Arnold Bueso is an artist working in the industries of
production, performance, film, fashion, and advertising.
Raised in Miami, Florida, Arnold trained in Graphic and Fashion Design
and through that industry discovered the world of design for stage and film.
While studying at Florida International University (B.A.) and Ohio University (M.F.A.),
he found that combination of disciplines in the European aesthetic known as
scenography, which has taken him all over the world in search of new projects.
For three years, Arnold was the Resident Production Designer of the
Robert Russell Theater for the Miami Stage Company in South Florida, where
he designed scenery, costumes and lights for dozens of plays, musicals
and concerts.
In South Florida, he has designed shows for The Women's Theater Project,
City Theater, and The Alternative Theater Festival.
He then served as the Resident Designer for the SCERA Center for the Arts,
where he also taught workshops in Commedia dell' Arte performance and masks.
In New York, Arnold worked as an intern in the design studio of William Ivey
Long, where he assisted on the Broadway show, Curtains.
Apart from being a designer, Arnold also directs and writes.
In 2003, he travelled to Scotland where he was
a visiting lecturer/artist at Queen Margaret College, where his original play
The Cynikae was being taught as a text for design.
His undergraduate thesis was a found object puppet show adaptation of
Aristophane's The Birds and for his graduate thesis he adapted
Calderon de La Barca's Life Is a Dream into a multimedia performance that
incorporated projections, social messaging as text, and audience interaction.
He is currently developing a screenplay for Antigone set in Haiti.
