So thrilled to have shared our strange, loud, writhing, baby with new audiences at Montpellier Danse this summer! The incredible opportunity to translate the work in scale and to see it’s form on reapproach was such a gift. Tuçe Yasak (lights) and Sarah Lurie (tour/tech magician) created a world that expanded our plain without shifting our scope, I mean LOOK AT THAT LIGHT FEST, And getting to throw micro dance parties in the courtyard before the rest of the fest arrived was an added bonus. Continuously in gratitude to have built this work with Miguel Gutierrez and this full team of creators.

This Bridge Called My Ass | NY Times + Opening!!! - NY

It is unbelievable, that after what feels more like a lifetime than a year, 3 residencies, 2 countries, countless applications, successes, failures, we prepare to open and share what we have created with you. Continuing to collaborate with Miguel Gutierrez and this band of talented creators has come or created a moment of great searching and growth and I’m so very thankful this mad world is resisted in these rooms of mad love.

THIS BRIDGE CALLED MY ASS

Opens Jan 9th as part of American Realness 2019 at the Chocolate Factory

In This Bridge Called My Ass six Latinx performers – Alvaro Gonzalez, John Gutierrez, Miguel Gutierrez, Xandra Ibarra, Nibia Pastrana Santiago, and Evelyn Sanchez Narvaez – map an elusive choreography of obsessive and perverse action within an unstable terrain of bodies, materials and sound. A formal logic binds the group and propels them to create a constantly transforming world where their togetherness retains autonomy to complicate the idea of identity. Clichéd Latin-American songs and the form of the telenovela are exploited to show how familiar structures contain absurdity that reveal and celebrate difference.

And check us out in the SUNDAY NY TIMES where Gia Kourlas chatted with Miguel Gutierrez and I about our mad process and snuck in to see what we’ve been up to. It is always such a gift to be seen, and properly quoted no less.
