Work (selection)
DEEP AEROBICS - Death Electric Emo Protest Aerobics is an aerobics exercise with audience participation. In addition to intensive physical exercise, the exercise also has a metaphysical claim: It deals with the topics of mortality, political protest, oppression, resistance and hope.
myendlesslove premiered at the Henry Street Settlement in 2006 and revisited at the Abron Arts Center in 2013 . It addresses sex, desire and aging in the gay scene .
When You Rise Up is a short book by Gutierrez published by the 53rd State Press. It deals with the psyche of 20 to 30 year olds who, according to Gutierrez:
“Often don't know what to do with themselves, where to put their energies, or how to act“ powerful ”among others”
"Often do not know what to do with yourself, what to use your energy for, or how to" powerfully "deal with others."
Quote
“My work tends to be quite emotional and concerns itself with the phenomenon of existence. I am interested in asking who are we and why are we here, both in life and in the theater. I am fascinated by the body's ability to move between the mundane and the transcendent. I am interested in how the presence of the audience creates a space of attention and extraordinary perception. ”
