Scene|Profile|Philanthropy CLIENT ROSTER Victoria’s Secret, Mick Jagger and Selena Gomez are just a few of brands and artists that Jermaine Browne has worked with. Choreographer THE BEAT OF THE CITY There are many forms of expression. Movement is JERMAINE BROWNE’s. By Eva Maria Troester Choreographer Jermaine Browne has worked all over the world — creating routines for everything from designers and fashion films to singers and stage shows. But New York City has played a particularly special part. “[New York] is where I found my gift of choreography. It’s where I found my masculinity and learned that it’s okay to have a feminine side,” he explains. “This city is very special — it has an amazing energy,” he enthuses. “It also forces artists to find ways to make things happen.” “In NYC, inspiration is everywhere, which can only inspire your heart as a choreographer.” One of his favorite choreographies was actually motivated by the different areas of the city. In a fashion film called Move for designer Rachel Roy, Jermaine choreographed five different styles of dance — ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, funk, and rock. “The styles of dance were usedto match different women who live in different areas of New York City.” Each area is special in its own way. Just as people are different, and dance routines and styles are different, so is New York City and the areas that comprise it. And each area inspires in a different way. 20 20 DOWNTOWNNYC AUTUMN AUTUMN 2017 2017 “You can walk around the city and see a show on Broadway, go to an art gallery, a museum, an off-Broadway show, or simply see someone performing on the streets,” Jermaine says. He has been dancing for most of his life. Ever since his mother put him on her feet and danced with him, Jermaine hasn’t stood still for long. One of his latest endeavors is choreographing a stage show for singer Jennifer Hudson. He also teaches workshops, works on fashion films, and is currently in the midst of a personal project called “Respect My Step.” But how does he keep on creating something new and original? It’s all about the people. Whether it’s working with artists or brands, it’s important to him that it’s collaborative. “If it’s an artist, I listen to their music and see where the music guides me,” he explains. “Now, if it’s a brand, I try to go along its guidelines because the movement represent that brand, but I also always try to give something of myself.” “I try to trust my dancers, because when you’re working with people, it’s important for you to be open to what they can bring to you as well,” he adds. “Seeing your work come to life is an amazing feeling, and it never gets old!” DT PHOTOGRAPHY BY PHILIPPE REYNAUD
