“(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.
