Workshop Description
"We focus on the creative process in making body/movement based performance. Through unequal parts making, discussing, improvising and watching the work of other workshop participants, we uncover and deepen your individual interests, your process and your work. Inherited notions of dance and performance are critiqued, absorbed or discarded in the service of creating performance that comes from a vital, necessary place and that speaks to a contemporary context. I am interested in harnessing the various fictions that we already construct unconsciously and using those as a frame for examining other possible frames for performance. There is no one way to make work." -Miguel Gutierrez
Miguel Gutierrez lives in Brooklyn and makes performances, music and poetry. He is a 2016 Doris Duke Artist. His most recent work is Age & Beauty, a trilogy that places a queer lens on mortality, the representation of the dancer, the intersection of administration with art-making, and an ambivalence toward futurity. His work has been presented in over 50 cities around the world in venues such as Centre National de Danse and Centre Pompidou in Paris, ImPulsTanz in Vienna, Live Arts Bard, New York Live Arts, AMERICAN REALNESS and the 2014 Whitney Biennial. He is the recipient of a 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship, a 2010 United States Artist Award, a 2010 Foundation for Contemporary Art Award, a three year Lambent Fellowship from the Tides Foundation, and a 2004 and 2008 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship. He has created music for several of his works, for choreographer Antonio Ramos, and is currently co-creating music with Colin Self for Jen Rosenblit and Simone Aughterlony’s new work. His book WHEN YOU RISE UP is available from 53rd State Press. He invented DEEP AEROBICS, and he is a Feldenkrais Method® practitioner. At the invitation of Gibney Dance Center, he has created new pedagogical peer to peer initiative called LANDING, which begins fall 2016. www.miguelgutierrez.org
