Despite supersymmetry being the square root of the Poincare algebra, it is possible to construct SUSY field theories which break some space-time symmetries. This preserves calculational control even when going to strong coupling. I will discuss general deformations, as well as special cases which come from maximally supersymmetric field theories, and construct holographic duals.
