Jonathan González

Jonathan González is a choreographer, artist, and writer whose interdisciplinary practice engages site, sensation, memory, and embodiment as core materials of performance. Working across choreography, installation, sound, image, and text, González explores how movement operates as a form of spatial thinking and cultural inquiry. Their work has been presented internationally in museums, performance spaces, and public contexts and centers collaborative methodologies that test how collective bodies negotiate atmosphere, duration, and shifting environments. González is the author of Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2025), a book that extends their choreographic thinking into poetic and theoretical writing. Recent and forthcoming projects include new commissions The Strikebreakers, for the 59th Carnegie International, and magic hour–golden time, for the Whitney Biennial. González is a 2025 Pew Fellow and currently serves as an assistant professor in the Department of Dance at Hunter College (CUNY), where their teaching bridges embodied research, performance studies, and interdisciplinary artistic practice.
