Miguel Gutierrez (born 1971) is an American choreographer, composer, performer, singer, writer, educator and advocate based in New York City.
His multidisciplinary performances "layer quotidian business and seemingly off-the-cuff remarks with strikingly choreographed sequences and lyrical text" and have been presented in more than 60 cities around the world.
[8] Performed at Henry Street Settlement in 2006 and then reconstructed in 2013 at Abron Arts Center, the work explores sex, desire and growing older in gay culture.
On the heels of one of the major works of his career and the worst breakup of his life, choreographer Miguel Gutierrez created myendlesslove (2006), a short, raw dance about grief.
[9] The new version starts off with Mr. Gutierrez, in person, holding a discussion with himself on video: “What are you going to show us today?” “Whatever happens.” As the question is repeated, the response becomes more lascivious: “I really hope it’s going to look beautiful, that you’re going to try all the possible variations and positions.”[10] Created in the fall of 2017 for Ballet de Lorraine in Nancy, France.
[13] In This Bridge Called My Ass, six Latinx performers map an elusive choreography of obsessive and perverse action within an unstable terrain of bodies, materials and sound.
The title is a play on This Bridge Called My Back edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa, a seminal 1981 anthology of Third Wave feminist essays that explores identity and critiques white feminism.
