معرفی
Jimena Bermejo is an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music and Director of the Dance Program at the College of the Holy Cross. As a multidisciplinary artist and educator from Mexico City, her practice bridges dance, performance art, and community collaboration, often addressing themes of immigration, race, trauma, and aging through a lens of Mexican identity and cultural resistance.
Her work integrates technology and audience participation, challenging traditional boundaries between performer and spectator. She co-directs Mobius Artist Group and has performed internationally at venues such as Judson Church (NYC), Le Lieu (Quebec), and Cathedral Arts Festival (Belfast). Her educational background includes a BFA in Dance from The Boston Conservatory and an MFA in Studio for Interrelated Media from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Bermejo’s artistic projects like The Poetics of Aging (2021) and Undoing the Archive (2025) explore collective memory and institutional histories. She has received recognition such as the 2021 Live Arts Boston Grant for collaborative work with La Trinchera Dance and other Boston-based artists. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes risk-taking, self-expression, and interdisciplinary creativity in safe, inclusive environments.
