Teacher Bio
Asimina Chremos is the daughter of one Greek and one Anglo-American parent and currently lives in Philadelphia where she has spent the majority of her life-years. Her current movement studies include Contemplative Dance Practice (as defined by Barbara Dilley) and the martial art of Aikido. As a young girl and teenager Chremos practiced and performed ballet very intensively. In between those things she studied modern dance techniques, contact improvisation, and created works of feminist performance art. Her performance work is rooted in the practice of dance improvisation and explores many concerns including the aesthetics of the body, femaleness, conflict, invisibility, power, dissolution of forms, physical sensitivity and awareness, and the problems of defining what an artist is or how an artist's life is supported. As a workshop facilitator/teacher Chremos values the uniqueness of each participant and welcomes all levels of life and art experience. She leads improvisationally and tailors each workshop experience to the particular group that is present
