Miguel Gutierrez – This Bridge Called My Ass

“In This Bridge Called My Ass, Gutierrez and five Latinx collaborators perform an elusive choreography of obsessive and perverse actions. Melodramatic tropes from Latin American songs and telenovelas are exploited within an unstable terrain of bodies, materials, light, and sound to show how familiar cultural structures contain absurdities that both reveal and celebrate difference.

A personal influence on Gutierrez, This Bridge Called My Back is a 1981 anthology of third-wave feminist essays by women of color that explores identity and critiques white feminism. As underlined by this thought-provoking performance, its insistence on intersectional awareness and political resistance is eerily relevant today.

At the artist’s request, a limited number of $5.00 tickets are available per show for low income PoC audience members. Please use BRIDGE for this discount at time of purchase. One discounted ticket max per purchase.”

SYNOPSIS

When a teenaged girl commits suicide in a remote Northern Ontario Aboriginal community, it’s up to her brother Shane to take care of their family. Shane was supposed to move to the city for University in the fall, and he has been trying to convince his secret boyfriend to come with him, but now everything is uncertain. Shane is torn between his responsibilities at home and the promise of freedom calling to him from the city. He pushes through barrier after barrier, determined to take care of his mom and earn money for school. But when circumstances take a turn for the worse and Shane has to choose between his family or his future, what will he do?

After a break over the summer and the beginning of autumn, we’re back with the Arts and Culture event of the week! This week’s event is the OSU Department of Dance’s 13 Dance Shorts:

“If you don’t like one, wait 5 minutes…

Ohio State Dance presents a concert of 13 short works professionally choreographed by our award-winning faculty and guest artists and performed by BFA and MFA dance students. The performance features two new works by Senegalese Guest Artist Momar Ndiaye.”

“Ohio State’s Carlos Gabriel Kelly (Department of English) reads from his debut poetry collection, Wounds Fragments Derelict—an evocative exploration of love and loss, the exhilarating highs and lows of relationships, and the passage of time. His romantic, bold, and erotic verse speaks to the heart and takes full advantage of the page to create memorable, nontraditional forms.

Current work:
The Doorway Effect is the experiential phenomenon of walking through doors and forgetting what one was doing. Walking Through Doorways Causes Forgetting was a site-specific installation that was part of a larger group exhibition of the same title in August of 2018. Located in a former school, built for children with Tuberculosis in the early 1900’s. The installation spanned the ceilings of two classrooms connected by a doorway, employing remnants from a retired hot air balloon that hung from the ceilings. The installation invited viewers to move through the space. Open windows allowed the wind to gently move the balloon throughout the room.
