Camille A. Brown & Dancers (CABD) is a Bessie Award-winning, NYC-based dance company advancing the artistic vision of Camille A. Brown. Founded in 2006, the company performs locally and across the world, inviting audiences into stories and dialogues about race, culture, and identity. CABD is known for an introspective approach to cultural themes through visceral movement and socio-political dialogues. The work uses theatricality and the aesthetics of modern, hip-hop, African, ballet, and tap to tell stories that connect history with contemporary culture.
Camille A. Brown is a prolific Black female choreographer, who is reclaiming the cultural narratives of African American identity. Her bold work taps into both ancestral stories and contemporary culture to capture a range of deeply personal experiences. As Artistic Director of CABD, Ms. Brown strives to instill curiosity and reflection in diverse audiences through her emotionally raw and thought-provoking work.
“[Camille A. Brown] cultivates in her dancers truer versions of themselves so that even as they do her movement, they are set apart.”
