Asimina Chremos:
Asimina Chremos [ah-see-MEE-na KREH-mos] continually reinvents her artistic career on a unique, exploratory path. She was born in Toronto Canada to a Greek immigrant father and US-born mother, who were both trained in the sciences as well as artistic people. The family lived in Richmond VA during the 1970’s where she began ballet classes. Asimina performed as a soloist and corps de ballet member of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater in the 1980’s; created a femme-drag performance-artist persona in Philadelphia in the 1990’s; and refined a personal improvisational movement language and performance practice through collaborations with Chicago musicians in the 2000’s. While in Chicago she also worked as the Artistic Director of Links Hall; taught modern dance, ballet, composition and improvisation at the Lou Conte Dance Studio; and served as the Dance Editor for Time Out Chicago Magazine.
n 2010 Chremos returned to Philadelphia to work as a Program Specialist for the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage in the Pew Fellowships area. Since leaving that position in 2013, freeform lace crochet and grantwriting support for artist-led ventures have developed as new outgrowths of Asimina’s ever-evolving, multifaceted creative expression and ongoing work; moving between the visionary space of the studio, the rich sensory space of the body-mind, and the practical concerns of arts organizations. A lover of surprising, unfamiliar, and emergent forms, she nevertheless brings structure and skills of clear-seeing and precision to her various streams of endeavor.
Her creative work has been supported by the Chicago Dancemakers’ Forum, the Experimental Sound Studio (Crosscut), the High Zero Foundation, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and the Philadelphia Art Alliance, among others.
At least 10% of all proceeds from Asimina’s annual earnings from art and grant writing practices go to support BIPOC arts organizations and artists, Doctors Without Borders, and progressive women in US politics. Services are offered pro-bono and/or sliding scale rates for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and low-income individuals and groups.
