Miguel Gutierrez
Miguel Gutierrez defines himself as an artist who practices dance and music. Alternating solo projects, performance and collective projects within his group Miguel Gutierrez and the Powerful People, he quickly imposed his explosive style on the New York scene; the way in which the body is used and the mixing of styles producing generalized disorder of interpretation, speech and fiction.
Magnetic, eruptive, uninhibited, Miguel Gutierrez grabs stage space by the throat, exposing his artistic dreams. It is not so easy to be a young choreographer in New York, struggling with the overwhelming memory of the great references of modern American dance. Miguel Gutierrez is part of a whole new generation of performers. He is a key figure on the New York experimental scene, and has already toured Europe several times over.
He is three-times winner of the Bessie Award, and has choreographed music videos for Diane Cluck, Holcombe Waller and Le Tigre. He has sung with Antony and the Johnsons and directed the music for his own projects.
He has also published a book WHEN YOU RISE UP and created a blog, stargayze.com.
He invented the Deep Aerobic approach and is training today to become a teacher of Feldenkrais.
