Hey everyone,
Remember those "Stories of a Mexican Immigrant" I shared on Instagram a few years back? If you haven't seen them, you can find them HERE. Each post explored a different aspect of my life as a Mexican living in the US, sharing experiences and answering common questions about Mexico or being Mexican.
Those stories were the seed for my new dance solo – "Jimena"! It's a performance that explores identity and memories.
This year's "Jimena" holds a very special addition: I'll be sharing the stage with the one and only – my mom, Margie Bermejo! This year'sperformance also features works by: The Bang Group, Marcus Schulkind (my longtime dance mentor!), Lynn Modell, and Tony Williams.
Get ready for the always fabulous DANCE NOW Boston! The performance is on May 11th & 12th, 2024 – don't miss it! Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours here:

Music and Movement Virtual Conference
“(Em)brace (or what my cell phone has a tendency to do to me” will be featured on Saturday as part of this conference.
This piece is a performance piece written by the American composer Anthony Green (now based in the Netherlands) for Mexican performance artist/dancer Jimena Bermejo (now based in the US) with accompaniment/co-movement by US musician Chris Brokaw. It debuted in 2017 at Judson Hall in New York City.
The Music and Movement Conference seeks to bring scholars, musicians, composers, and performing artists together in conversation regarding the dynamic relationship between movement and music. Each panel will feature both paper presentations and performances, underscoring the ways in which the various subdisciplines of music and the performing arts can inform and reinforce one another.
The full conference schedule and program can be found here.
Registration for the Music and Movement Conference is free and open to the public! To register, simply follow the links below for each day you would like to attend. (The same link will work for all panels that take place on the given day.)

Art & The Expanded Digital Media Conversations
In the age of COVID-19, art is happening simultaneously everywhere, at all times, and nowhere. Our relationships to physical space, objects, and now virtual audiences are reconfigured and mediated by expansions and distortions in the digital realm: intimate glimpses into people’s homes and studios; new experimental possibilities and platforms; and the alternating affective charge and utter depletion of one too many Zoom meetings. Join Eben Haines (artist and founder/curator of Shelter in Place Gallery), Rashin Fahandej (transdisciplinary artist and assistant professor of emerging and interactive media, Emerson College, Boston) and Jimena Bermejo (performance artist, Director of Dance at College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, and Mobius, Inc. groupmember) in conversation with curator Leonie Bradbury as they discuss (and demonstrate live!) the ways they are expanding artistic practice on digital media platforms.
This event is part of a series of summer talks co-curated and co-hosted by the AREA CODE ART FAIR in partnership with Northeastern University's Center for the Arts in the Northeastern University College of Arts, Media and Design. Programs are FREE but require advanced registration at this link: https://camd.northeastern.edu/event/art-in-and-the-digital-space/

Tabled
Tabled is a piece about repetition, endurance, and focus. Responding to the realities of isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bermejo navigates, and re-navigates a finite object, forcing her body/medium to find new pathways.
While performing this piece the table takes over and becomes an extension of and an attack on the artist's body. She will repeat this task for as long as she can bare, and after rest, begin again.
Bermejo invites viewers to participate in the performance by communicating with her through the chat function, which she has programmed, text-to-speak.

This is a roughly 60-minute structured improvisation with plastic objects. The piece will morph between solos, duets, quad and trio combinations of the 4 artists that include movement, sound, and performance actions. The work will be cumulative and acquire performance remnants of past actions that will serve as a sculptural backdrop as the piece progresses.

* Cass Tunick and Sarah Hickler/ action theater
* Nate Tucker/ sound, music
* Fotini Christophillis/ live painting
* Jimena Bermejo, Jenna Pollack and Olivier Besson/ movement, dance
This curated performance series devotes itself to the art of improvisation. Artists whose collaborations and solo works celebrate live-time creation find a home here.
*The salon highlights improvisations from the realms of movement/dance, theater, sound/music, poetry and visual art.
Four or five short works get presented in an informal setting, where we celebrate the experimental territory and ephemeral nature of this art form.
Our goal is to provoke a community conversation around the wild possibility inherent in these forms, inviting opportunities for both risk and freedom in performers and audiences alike.
** Moment's Notice is affiliated with The Boston Conservatory at Berklee and locates once a month in BoCo's studios. Olivier and Cass are curating the series. You can contact them for more information, including potential participation.

Jimena Bermejo and Chris Brokaw at MAGMA
Jimena Bermejo and Chris Brokaw began collaborating in 2017 after many years of mutual admiration. Their works combine the best elements of their shared interests in punk, poetics and the beauty of blood. The pieces they will bring to MAGMA, " Slide," "I'm The Only One" and a new work in progress, "Our Fathers (who aren’t in heaven)" explore different ways to mix, play, and exchange their instruments: guitar and body.
Their work has been shown at Judson Church in New York City, Cathedral Arts Festival in Belfast, Green Street Studios in Cambridge and The Distillery Gallery in South Boston.
Jimena Bermejo sees her body as a tool to create a dynamic and intimate relationship with an audience. She elicits a combination of physical and emotional engagement in pieces woven from memories, music, and personal relationships. She holds an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design's Studio for Interrelated Media and a BFA in Dance from The Boston Conservatory. Most recently, she has shown her work at The Cathedral Arts Festival in Belfast, U. K, The Judson Church in NYC, Distillery Gallery in South Boston, Le Lieu in Quebec, 808 Gallery in Boston, Mobius Gallery, Green Street Studios and The Dance Complex in Cambridge. She has also shown at the Art Beat and SomDance Festivals in Somerville. Jimena is currently a member of Mobius Artists Group and Caitlin Corbett Dance and has performed with many other local choreographers.
She holds an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design's Studio for Interrelated Media and a BFA in Dance from The Boston Conservatory and currently, she is Director of the Dance Program at The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester and is currently faculty at Berklee College of Music, and The Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Chris Brokaw is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, drummer and film composer based in Boston. Perhaps best known for his pioneering work with the bands CODEINE and COME, since 2002 Chris has released over a dozen solo albums of instrumental and vocal musics, composed music for film and dance, and worked as an accompanist to THURSTON MOORE, STEVE WYNN, EVAN DANDO, CHRISTINA ROSENVINGE, RHYS CHATHAM, JOHNNY DEPP and GG ALLIN. He currently plays in THE NEW YEAR, THE MARTHA'S VINEYARD FERRIES, THE EMPTY HOUSE COOPERATIVE, and THE LEMONHEADS, and in duos with GEOFF FARINA and LORI GOLDSTON. Chris performed with 200 guitarists under the tutelage pf Rhys Chatham at Lincoln Center; one of 77 drummers in the Boredoms' epic 77BOADRUM in Brooklyn; and with Dirtmusic at the Festival In The Desert in Essakane, Mali.
Chris' 2018 releases include CHARNEL GROUND, a collaboration with James McNew and Kid Millions (on 12XU, April 2018) and the forthcoming solo album END OF THE NIGHT (on VDSQ, autumn 2018). Other upcoming performances include the Hopscotch Festival (Raleigh, NC) and the National Gallery (Washington, DC) in September and the Invisible Festival (Brest, France) in November.

Transactions
Bbeyond in conjuction with Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival present TRANSACTIONS: Boston artists exchange
TRANSACTIONS is an exchange between two prominent experimental artists’ groups, Mobius Artists Group in Boston and Bbeyond in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
This exchange, which emphasizes Boston and Belfast’s relationship as sister cities, provides opportunities for artists working at the helm of experimental practice in live performance to learn from each other, share audiences, work across national and cultural contexts while building connections through the creation of new works.
This May, seven Mobius artists: Marilyn Arsem, Jimena Bermejo, Daniel DeLuca, Milan Kohout, Mari Novotny-Jones, Sandrine Schaefer and Anna Wexler, will perform new works in Belfast specifically created for presentation in outdoor public space, as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.
In September, five artists from Belfast, Northern Ireland’s Bbeyond will be travelling to Boston in order to complete the exchange. Transaction II will take place in downtown Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway on September 22 & 23, featuring performances by the artists from Bbeyond and by Mobius artists.
Bbeyond is supported by The National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. In Boston this project is made possible by a Live Arts Boston grant from the Boston Foundation, and by a grant from Culture Ireland. Mobius is also funded by The Oedipus Foundation, the Tanne Foundation, and generous private support.
