Biography

Harold Albert García Sandoval's artistic practice has developed at the intersection of architecture, stage production, spatial design, and illumination, articulating a sustained trajectory centered on the construction of scenic experiences where space and visuality operate as structural components of the stage.

Originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, he has developed the greater part of his professional work in the city of Tijuana, Baja California — a context from which he has built a practice linked both to contemporary scenic creation and to the management, production, training, and documentation of the regional artistic field.

His training in architecture, undertaken at the Universidad Iberoamericana and the Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana, has been a determining factor in shaping his artistic vision. This disciplinary foundation has permeated his approach to the scenic event, particularly in the way he conceives space — not as a neutral container, but as an active structure of relationship between body, light, materiality, and perception.

Since 2012, he has developed a professional trajectory in cultural management and scenic production, beginning with the direction of the Urban Dance Battle festival in Tijuana (2012–2013). From there, his work expanded into the design, production, and coordination of scenic projects across multiple disciplines, including dance, theater, opera, musical theater, concerts, and interdisciplinary initiatives.

Over more than a decade, he has collaborated closely with artists, companies, and ensembles from different regions of the country, among them Dédalo Artes Escénicas (Sonora), Alicia Sánchez y Compañía (Mexico City), and ensembles from Baja California including Teatro en el Incendio, Teatro de León, and Lux Boreal.

Between 2018 and 2024, he served as scenic coordinator of the annual opera concerts produced by the Sociedad Artística Sinaloense. His operatic work includes the binational Italy–Mexico production of Il filosofo di campagna (El Colegio de la Frontera Norte / UABC), lighting design for Madame Butterfly and La Traviata with the Orquesta Filarmónica de Chihuahua, and El Murciélago with the Orquesta de Baja California under maestro José Medina.

His work has been presented at major platforms of national and international performance, including the Encuentro Nacional de Danza, Encuentro Nacional de Artes Escénicas, Festival Internacional Lila López, Muestra Internacional Cuerpos en Tránsito, Festival Entre Fronteras, Premio Nacional de Danza Guillermo Arriaga, and Grand Performances in Los Angeles, California.

In parallel to his creative and production work, he has sustained a practice in training, dissemination, and cultural documentation — teaching courses and workshops at the Instituto Sonorense de Cultura, the Licenciatura en Danza of the Escuela Gloria Campobello (Tijuana), and the Instituto Municipal de Arte y Cultura de Tijuana, among others.

He directed and produced the audiovisual project Líneas de Tiempo — a series of interviews on the past and present of dance in Baja California — supported by the Programa de Estímulos a la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico de Baja California.
