PRESS QUOTES for debut season at Jacob's Pillow
Watching Camille A. Brown dance in person for the first time is like observing a hummingbird in nature for the first time...What is striking is that this rising star of New York City's hip downtown scene is somewhat old-fashioned: Brown is a storyteller, with many tales to tell...Brown has gathered a company of earthy movers, deft at giving her dances the physical weight needed to carry serious themes..." -The Boston Globe

Camille A. Brown is a student of history and a raconteur. Her dances tell stories of historical moments and of ordinary lives in a particular place in time...Her signature style blends virtuosic modern dance with the churning, stabbing arms and pulsating backs of West African movement and the effect is both dynamic and eloquent...Brown and her dancers tell painful stories and recall difficult and even tragic times in history, not just to instruct but to celebrate, and the emergence of this extraordinarily talented young choreographer at this difficult time is cause for celebration indeed." -The Winsted Journal

"..impressive is the message of empowerment that streams from the stage with every work the petite Camille A. Brown puts out.  Whether in vignettes that celebrate resilience in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, or put a face to the anomie of urban subway rides, Brown takes the high ground and claims it for pride, spirit, and the sheer git to survive." -The Berkshire Eagle

PRESS QUOTES for debut season at The Joyce Theater

"Ms. Brown shows vividness and versatility...stylistically diverse...Ms. Brown is an assured performer; the control with which she adjusts her balance on one leg is memorable, as are the series of arm gestures with which she, on her knees, ends the solo. Her physical style varies: elsewhere she sends ripples from her raised leg up her torso...magisterial...Ms. Brown knows how to oppose one group with another so that they feel like crosscurrents." The New York Times

"Her movement, with its subtle allusions to African dance styles, punches the air while easing on down the road; there's a swing and a bounce to her choreography...Brown herself is a vibrant performer "believable whether she's walking in a squat or standing balanced on one leg and unfurling the other with a beautifully pointed foot. She's a mistress of the melting gesture that's betrayed by a storm of little staccato ones." The Village Voice

"Gutsy. Wild. Smart. Original...Camille [A.] Brown has expert comic timing that's Broadway-worthy." -Wendy Perron (Dance Magazine
