World Premiere: Jacob’s Pillow, July 31-August 4, 2024

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, and Martine Wade with projection design by Aaron Rhyne, set and lights by David Arsenault, sound design by Justin Ellington, and costumes by Asthley Solman.
