ME BAJARON DEL CERRO

performers: Sofia Silva, Mai Hibino

ME BAJARON DEL CERRO, meaning “they took me from the mountain” yet in Mexico is a phrase that is casually thrown as an insult. The piece centers the cerro, the mountain, as a symbol for the culture that we bring with us when we immigrate. How no matter how much they will force us to assimilate the mountain within us will still stand along with the culture and traditions that we inherit, and the memories we cherish. This piece takes what was once an insult and reclaims it with pride.

Chicana dancer and choreographer based in Brooklyn. Immigrated from Cuidad de Mexico at the age of ten. Began dancing with Katharine Pettit Creative in 2021 after graduating from The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts as a student of the Musical Theatre program. Previously trained with Ladies of Hip-hop, The Fort Worth Dance Syndicate,La Casa de la Cultura and MODArts Dance Collective, with work featured in venues such as Brooklyn Art Haus, Triskelion Arts, The Tank, The Herb Alpert Auditorium, Nublu, and Theatre for the New City. Her dance style ranging from salsa to hip-hop, jazz, contemporary, folklorico, house and cumbia. Having had to immigrate to new country she witness all of the hard work, labor and sacrifice that came from it, the decades that would follow would fuel her choreography.

performers: Alex DiCastro, Aaron Foreman

Meg Hasou is a dancer and choreographer based in Brooklyn. She has shown work at Ponderosa (Germany), Fidgetspace (Philadelphia), and 28th St Theatre (NY). She holds a BFA in Dance from the University of the Arts where she worked with Jesse Zaritt, Niall Jones, and Sara Procopio, as well as guest artists including Sidra Bell, Netta Yersushalmy and Hélène Simoneau. Her work plays with scenic divisions; structure is built and dismantled, built up again, and spiraled into ends. Working with minimalist geometries, there is an underlying tension in the rigidity of the movement.

About Green Lung Studio

Green Lung Studio was built by two artists who wanted a place to try things—loudly, quietly, imperfectly. Not a venue. Not a theater. A playground. A lab. A home. We know what it’s like to scrape by in a city that forgets its artists. So we made the kind of space we always needed—a place to test ideas. Today Green Lung Studio is ran by a group of close friends and volunteers looking to protect independent New York art spirit and culture.

Green Lung Studio has year round dance, music, cinema and more. Stay up to date at greenlungstudio.com or @greenlungstudio on Instagram.
