JOY

JOY, a work-in-progress featuring original music, is directed, choreographed, and created in collaboration with award-winning artist Rosie Herrera with developmental support from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Anggelo dons the whimsical persona of JOY, a raisonneur inspired by Marcel Marceu’s immortal mime, Bip the Clown, asking us to consider the power of silence in new ways.

ENGLISH WITH AN ACCENT

English with an Accent is an original musical production of dance-theater, helmed by Migguel Anggelo and a company of 10 dancers. This production follows an immigrant caterpillar’s arrival in New York City with hopes of becoming a butterfly. It explores the attainability of the American dream through themes of freedom, safety, and self-worth.

MAID IN AMERICA

Inspired by true-life experience, Migguel Anggelo is a hotel maid with hopes of performing on the grand stage in this original, short film created during the Covid-19 pandemic. As he cleans and sings his heart out, he reflects on the promise of the American Dream. Can it actually be achieved or is it a figment of an immigrant’s imagination?

WELCOME TO LA MISA, BABY

Inspired by the tragic shooting at Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub, in Welcome to La Misa, Baby, Migguel Anggelo reclaims the disco as a safe space for the gay community while swirling through a gallery of characters found beneath the proverbial disco ball.
