Podcast | Movers and Shapers

Excited to have had a chance to chat about dance, performance, curation and my art journey recently. Invite me on your podcast! Invite me to your panel, gallery, class, riot! I'm ready to chat about the work we make, how we all make it, and why.

Movers and Shapers A Dance Podcast no.85 hosted by the ever curious Erin Carlisle Norton. Here's me talking about my swirly trajectory, history, practice, peeves and the joy of multitasking. You can also hear it HERE

One of the really great things about Erin’s comprehensive archive is that we hear the lived experience not just the work, you hear artists speak to how the work got made, how the life in this work is being lived. Artists can forget to think of themselves or each other as three dimensional beings, which is wild to me because so much of my practice is those corners and creases where life and dreams meet. It was a pleasure to sit and chat with her. Check out the full archive and listen up!

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.
