WORKING WOMEN - Joyce Theater

ABOUT THE COMPANIES
CAMILLE A. BROWN & DANCERS is known for high theatricality, gutsy moves, and
musicality. Making a personal claim on history through the lens of a modern female perspective,
Camille A. Brown leads her dancers through dazzling excavations of ancestral stories,
both timeless and traditional, as well as immediate contemporary issues. The company’s repertory
explores real life situations ranging from literal to more complex themes with an eye
on the past and present. The work is character based, expressing topics by building from little
moments, and modeling a filmic sensibility. Theater, poetry, visual art and music, all merge
to inject each performance with energy. Camille A. Brown & Dancers seeks to connect with
people, entertain, provoke, engage, and inspire. Let’s begin. camilleabrown.org

and ultimate commonality of the human experience. With bold athleticism and dramatic
nuance, Dorfman’s works take viewers on intellectual and emotional journeys. CDDC’s
