Please note rescheduled date and venue

Super Nothing, a new dance performance from internationally recognized choreographer Miguel Gutierrez, is an exploration of the intersections between art and life, featuring a diverse ensemble of performers from New York and Los Angeles, including Jay Carlon (L.A.), Justin Faircloth (NYC), Wendell Gray (NYC) and Evelyn Sanchez (L.A.).

This thought-provoking performance delves into the essence of creative process, and how our bodies hold stories that shape our understanding of community and identity. 

Inspired by bell hooks' statement that "Moving, we confront the realities of choice and location," the four performers of Super Nothing navigate a shifting physical terrain of intimacy, negotiation, and pent up feeling to create a world where we rethink what it means to come together.

Join us for an emotionally charged dance experience that invites you to consider how we pay attention to each other and how we make space for belonging.


Super Nothing was commissioned, produced and presented by New York Live Arts as part of the Randjelović /Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist Program, with lead support from Mellon Foundation. Super Nothing premiered during New York Live Arts 24-25 season. 

Super Nothing was additionally co-commissioned by On the Boards/Seattle, UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA), MCA Chicago and American Dance Festival with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Works.
