“All of it is infused with passion and persistence.”

Known for blending powerful storytelling with dynamic movement, Camille A. Brown’s work taps into ancestral and contemporary stories to capture deeply personal experiences and cultural narratives of African American identity. From her award-winning trilogy on race, culture, and identity to her Broadway directorial debut, Tony-nominated Camille A. Brown has earned national acclaim and recognition for her captivating work.
In 2022, she made her Broadway directorial debut for the Broadway revival of for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, making her the first Black woman to direct and choreograph a Broadway play since Katherine Dunham in 1955. Within the same season, Brown became the first Black artist at The Metropolitan Opera to direct a mainstage production, co-directing alongside James Robinson on Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones (2021), which she also choreographed. Fire was triumphantly brought back to the MET again this 2024 spring season. Her film and TV work includes Harlem (seasons 1 & 3, Amazon Prime), Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (Netflix); Emmy award-winning Jesus Christ Superstar Live (NBC); New Year’s Eve in Rockefeller Center (NBC), and Google Arts & Culture (ink).
In her newest work, she explores Black joy and dreams up new futures, opening up creative possibilities for how we can all live and be in the world. Drawing on themes from the “I Am” episode of the HBO series Lovecraft Country, I AM picks up where ink left off, blasting us into a universe where anything is possible and features various dance genres of the African Diaspora. Presented in Centennial Hall.
