Camille A. Brown & Dancers “I Am”

Continuing her explorations of Black Joy, director and choreographer Camille A. Brown creates a new work for her Company, Camille A. Brown & Dancers that launches new queries into the possibilities of imagination—and boldly investigates the future.

While Brown has often disrupted our understanding of the past, in this new work, she imagines a creative space for cultural
liberation—conjuring new ways of being in this world. Inspired by the “I AM” episode of the HBO series, Lovecraft Country, this new work picks up where ink left off by blasting us into the universe where anything is possible and features various dance genres of the African Diaspora.

Original music is by Deah Love Harriott, Jaylen Petinuad, Juliette Jones, Martine Mauro-Wade, Frédérique Gnaman, Monique Brooks Roberts, and Zane Mark, projection design by Aaron Rhyne, set and lights by David Arsenault, sound design by Justin Ellington, and costumes by Ashley Soliman.

Director and choreographer, Camille A. Brown’s extensive career includes Director and Choreographer of the upcoming 2026 Dreamgirls revival, Gypsy, for colored girls…, Choir Boy, Once on This island, and Streetcar Named Desire. She is a five-time Tony Award nominee, including for Choreographer for Hell’s Kitchen coming to the Paramount in July.
