”Over six weeks this spring, in an alignment of plans that he likens to “some bizarre astrological event,” three of Gutierrez’s pieces will be presented at three New York City theaters: “Cela Nous Concerne Tous (This Concerns All of Us),” for 25 dancers of Ballet de Lorraine, April 21 and 22 at N.Y.U. Skirball; “I as another,” a new duet with the dancer Laila J. Franklin, May 4­-7 at Baryshnikov Arts Center; and “Variations on Themes From Lost and Found: Scenes From a Life and Other Works by John Bernd,” a revival of a 2016 collaboration with the choreographer Ishmael Houston-Jones and the composer Nick Hallett, May 25-June 3 at Danspace Project.”

”Miguel moved around the room invoking a fairy-kissed scene cut from a Fassbinder film, the queeny touch of a Cabaret poster hanging above the chaise. As his impishly blasé lover flipped through that book—he appeared nude—the ASL interpreter watched in blissful repose, and I delighted after the sparkly thoughts in her mind.”

”To an outsider, the world of concert dance can be seen as a refuge for LGBT+ youth, but due to centuries-old traditions and rigid institutions, many dancers' experiences are anything but that. Dancer Garen Scribner and choreographer Miguel Gutierrez compare experiences coming of age in dance academies and talk about what needs to happen for those institutions to adapt to the 21st century.”

Interview: Frank Conversations About Making a Living in Dance
by Siobhan Burke
The New York Times, September 7, 2021
”That precariousness — why it exists, particularly in the United States, and how artists might move beyond it — is one concern of “Are You for Sale?,” a nine-episode series that examines, in Gutierrez’s words, “the ethical entanglements between art and money….” With a frankness often missing from conversations about money in the arts, Gutierrez and his guests venture into topics like the origins of philanthropy; the pros and cons of government funding for dance; and his own economic quagmires as an artist.”

”For this episode, we asked choreographer Miguel Gutierrez which artist he’d most like to speak with, and, without hesitation, he selected performance artist and writer Gabrielle Civil. Over the phone, Miguel and Gabrielle discuss their paths to artistic success, the pressures of first-generation exceptionalism, and the time Miguel memorized the choreography to The Nutcracker as a ten-year-old.”

Interview: Miguel Gutierrez On Performance, Presidents, and Becoming Teachable
by Jhaleh Akhavan
Mashup Americans
When you are a performer, do you ever feel like you must perform yourself? Miguel Gutierrez (he/him) is a multidisciplinary performance artist, educator and arts advocate. Miguel’s works include This Bridge Called My Ass, a piece that bends tropes of Latinidad to identify new relationships to content and form, a book titled WHEN YOU RISE UP available through 53rd State Press, and numerous essays, including “Does Abstraction Belong to White People,” published on Bomb’s website. He also performs sad versions of upbeat Madonna songs in his music performance project SADONNA. Miguel sat down with Mash-Up Americans to talk about vulnerability as a director and experimental artist, what he would choose for a national monument, and accepting that he’s not Nicki Minaj.

Podcast: Death, Sex & Money - Miguel Gutierrez’s Strongly Worded Emails About Art and Money
Posted November 25, 2020
This past March, choreographer Miguel Gutierrez posted a call on his Instagram. It asked performing arts institutions to honor their commitments to artists like him, who were no longer able to perform publicly because of the pandemic. "The first thing I noticed was all the cancellation emails and their complete, uh, lack of acknowledgement of a financial component," Miguel told me. "Like, you have the money in your budget, right? So pay me." While Miguel wanted to make sure he was compensated for his work, he also told me that he's been reexamining his relationship to performing. "There's a whole other part of me that’s like, do I ever want to tour again, actually?" he told me. "I actually crave certain kinds of normalcy that are just part of other people's lives." We talked about the years it took for him to learn how to manage his finances as someone living gig-to-gig, how getting sober helped him get out of years of debt, and how he was able to make ends meet this year.

Walker Art Center’s website, January 17, 2020

"Despite a scene in which the cast frolics on the gels as if they were autumn leaves — it’s too much like playtime — there’s an ancient and methodical drive to this affecting piece. During a recorded loop of “Do you worry about the future?” the dancers glide in and out of formations while lightly clapping their hands. It feels like worship."

By Andrew Boynton

Dance, Senses, and Distrust of the Body: A Frank Talk with Miguel Gutierrez
By Miguel Gutierrez as told to Michele Steinwald
Walker Art Center Magazine, September 7, 2012
"Not having an instant understanding is not a liability of dance—it’s actually this kind of anti-capitalist thing that’s built into the temporality of the form. You want this work to say “blah” to you right away. But it’s a time-based form, and it doesn’t work like that. It just isn’t going to deliver to you."

Miguel Gutierrez
By Ishmael Houston-Jones
Bomb Magazine, Fall 2012
"Last year Miguel asked me to perform in 'And lose the name of action,' which is still in progress. When I asked him why he wanted to work with me, he responded that he was tired of seeing older choreographers scoring for and dancing alongside “skinny white girls in their twenties.” Since I fit none of those criteria I guess I was a shoo-in. "

'Heavens,' it's Miguel Gutierrez at the Alexandria Hotel
By Susan Josephs
Los Angeles Times, July 12, 2011
"Miguel Gutierrez has danced for 24 hours straight while blindfolded in response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He invented his own existential workout form called DEEP (Death Electric Emo Protest) Aerobics. And he wrote a book of performance texts that include poems such as 'The Problem With Dancing,' which laments that the art form 'doesn't sell, doesn't last [and] doesn't mean anything.'"
