Jonathan Gonzalez

Jonathan González received their BA from Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, and an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, New York, as a Posse and Bessie Schonberg Scholar. González's pedagogy and practice are situated at the intersections of performance with a focus on topics of insurgent aesthetics, political economy, black study and somatics. Their teaching culls from a multidisciplinary training in Performing Arts, Africana studies, Queer studies and Education.

González‘s creative work unfolds as performance for text and choreography, works for video, sonic investigations, and platforms for collaborative study, arts advocacy, lecture and curation. These works take form within the realm of theatrical spaces, galleries and museums, virtual spaces as well as academic settings.

Their scholarship extends from their creative practice, adapting methods of ethnography, lecture and gathering to engender experimentation towards otherwise modalities of collaboration, representation and study.

González's writings have been published by EAR | WAVE | EVENT, Dance/NYC, Regiones:CENTRAL, Movement Research, Contemporaryand, The Creative Independent, Contact Quarterly, Cultured Magazine, deem journal, Angela's Pulse, among others.

González has received fellowships from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Art Matters Foundation and the Jerome Foundation. They have been an artist in residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography, Trinidad Performance Institute and Loghaven Artist Residency.
