Miguel Gutierrez is the 2023-2024 Randjelović/Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist.

What can a dance do to confront the constant grief that we experience in our lives? Super Nothing presents four dancers whose actions and choreographic relationships are analogues for how people support each other to survive. Interdependence takes multiple forms, as the performers move through representations of the past to create a blueprint for a new future. This piece extends Gutierrez’s interest over the past few years in creating “choreography for the end of the world.”

Super Nothing is a new quartet for performers from New York (Justin Faircloth, Wendell Gray II) and Los Angeles (Jay Carlon, Evelyn Sanchez Narvaez). 

Since 2011, the Randjelović/Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist Program has been made possible with lead funding from Mellon Foundation, and we are excited to share Rockefeller Brothers Fund has joined our partnership to provide lead support going forward.

Co-commissioned by On the Boards/Seattle, Center for the Art of Performance/ UCLA, MCA Chicago and American Dance Festival with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Works, with additional support from Café Royal Cultural Foundation and developed with residency support from Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography at Florida State University, UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance, Pillow Lab at Jacob’s Pillow, American Dance Festival and The Field Center. Super Nothing is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project, supported by the Doris Duke Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency).
