Join the Department of Performing and Media Arts for Professional Directions: A Conversation with Dancer & Performer Miguel Angel Guzmán on Thursday, September 24, at 10:00 am in Room 220, Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts. Guzmán will share his journey as a leading international freelance artist. Free and open to the public. Coffee and bagels will be provided.
Choosing a life as a freelance artist comes packed with uncertainty, courage, risk, fear, and belief. It also is one of profoundly enriching experiences every step of the way.
Come take a seat at the table as Miguel Angel Guzmán and prof. Danielle Russo engage in conversation about what life as a successful international performer across countries and disciplines has meant for Miguel, shaping him as both an artist and human being. How deep love, intuition, reinvention, discipline, fear, and letting go of what you’ve known all along has brought you here today.
Miguel Angel Guzmán has performed in the works of Alexandra Pirici, Ligia Lewis, Madeline Hollander, Coco Karol & Sxip Shirey, Pope.L, Robert Whitman, Shawnée Michaelain Holloway, Will Rawls, Simone Forti, and Deborah Hay. Originally from Mexico and holding degrees in Theatre and Dance from the Universidad de las Américas Puebla, his work takes place primarily between the United States and Europe. Most recently, he was seen in Berlin performing in Ligia Lewis’ I’m Not Here Forrrrr… at the Gropius Bau and Alexandra Pirici’s Attune at the Hamburger Bahnhof.
