gizeh muñiz vengel

Movement, Teaching and Performing artist. Mexicana, currently co-existing in Ohlone territory.

They are dedicated to the study of being a body, through movement and stillness.

Her choreographic work responds to processes of grief and joy, with an arduous commitment to transformation and presence

They recreate body stories through touch, relationship and movement that refine our attention and listening toward mastery of the art of being fully present in proximity and relationship with others.

Through her work, she creates spaces that allow them to play and divest from concepts of linearity in a creative process, with the intention of practicing freedom, and explore new paradigms of temporality, relationality and intimacy.

They insist on the importance of “thinking with the whole body” to imagine possibilities where their identity is not tokenized, but rather a departure point for experimentation, exploration and dance- making.

Her choreographic and teaching work has been shared in the United States, Mexico and Europe in festivals such as Improspeckje in Croatia, GUSH in San Francisco and 4×4 in Tijuana, to mention some.

gizeh is currently an artist in residency at CounterPulse, PUSH, BANDALOOP and in The Community Engagement Residency with Bridge Live Arts, and the 2023-25 Radiate fellow of RAWdance. gizeh is curator and producer of KH FRESH Festival, Performance Primers and Gatherings class series in the Bay Area.
