Originally from Detroit, Jeremy Xido graduated cum laude in Painting and Comparative Literature from Columbia University, NY and trained at the Actor’s Studio. A Fulbright and Guggenheim recipient, he’s the artistic co-director of performance/film company CABULA6, voted “Company of the Year 2009” by Ballettanz, and awarded “Outstanding Artist of the Year 2010” by the Austrian Ministry of the Arts. Jeremy’s directing credits include the award-winning feature documentary Death Metal Angola, the six-part Crime Europe series, the short documentary Macondo, and several short fiction films. He’s known in Europe as a performance artist with a unique artistic voice and approach to stage and film, blending emotionally gripping personal stories with the larger social contexts within which they emerge – including the trilogy, The Angola Project (premiered in Impulstanz, Vienna and PS122, NYC). Working as a dancer, actor, and filmmaker, he has performed and presented work worldwide on stage, TV, and in cinema. In addition to his work on Sons of Detroit, he is writing a feature film script set in Detroit amid the housing crisis of 2010.
