ink – Camille A. Brown & Dancers

ink celebrates the rituals, gestural vocabulary, and traditions of the African diaspora and examines the culture of black life that is often appropriated, rewritten, or silenced. Developed in collaboration with music director Allison Miller, percussionist Wilson Torres, violinist Juliette Jones, and composer/pianist Scott Patterson, ink is the final installation of Camille Brown’s dance theatre trilogy about identity (along with Mr TOL E. RAncE, 2012, and BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play, 2015); the work travels through time with elements of blues, hip-hop, jazz, and swing, a musical landscape embodies its own storytelling.
