AGE & BEAUTY PART 3: Dancer or You can make whatever the f#ck you want but you'll only tour solos or The Powerful People or We are strong/We are powerful/We are beautiful/We are divine or &:'///
On Saturday, June 20, as the conclusion of his time at BOFFO Residency Fire Island, Miguel Gutierrez will present an excerpt from his forthcoming Age & Beauty Part 3, which he will perform with Alex Rodabaugh, one of the collaborators in the piece. Miguel has been working intensely on the music compositions that will be part of the final installment of the Age & Beauty series, a queer suite of works that look at the representation of the dancer, the physical and emotional labor of performance, tropes about the aging gay choreographer, the interaction of art-making with administration, the idea of “queer time,” futurity, and mid-life anxieties about relevance, sustainability, and artistic burnout.
