BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play

Bessie Award and Doris Duke Artist Award-winning choreographer Camille A. Brown and the women of Camille A. Brown & Dancers present the world premiere of BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play, a work revealing the complexity of carving out a self-defined identity as a black female in urban America. Original compositions by collaborators Tracy Wormworth and Scott Patterson are performed live and encompass the rhythmic play of African-American rooted steppin’, Double Dutch, and Juba. Each performance culminates with a second-act dialogue, allowing audiences to engage with the artists on stage. An array of distinguished guests—Mark Anthony Neal (Sep 22), L’Heureux Lewis-McCoy (Sep 23), Stacey Muhammad (Sep 24), Scheherazade Tillet (Sep 25), dream hampton (Sep 26), and Dr. Kyra Gaunt, Ph.D. (Sep 27)—lead these discussions.
