Dance
And lose the name of action
Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People
My Show:
A work for dancers, aged 33 to 62, exploring the crisscrossing
pathways of the brain and the elusive logic of improvisation,
welcoming mixed messages while accessing an eerie, otherworldly
state of hope and vitality.
Sights and Sounds:
Six fierce performers, the inventive glow of light concocted by
Lenore Doxsee, the hallucinatory sound stylings of Neal Medlyn, and
the cool, dislocating film and words of Boru O'Brien
O'Connell.
My art is most inspired by:
Most recently, ghosts, varying definitions of consciousness,
somatics, California sunlight and highways, and trippy, melodious
electroacoustic music.
Being a ghost would be:
Fun in a men's water polo locker room.
