Camille A. Brown & Dancers (Family Matinee)

Award-winning director and choreographer Camille A. Brown deepens her explorations of Black joy in the New York premiere of I AM. While Brown has often disrupted our understanding of the past, in this new work, she imagines a creative space for cultural liberation and launches queries into the possibilities of imagination that boldly investigate the future. Inspired by a narrative within the drama television series Lovecraft Country and the rhythms of the movie Drumline, I AM picks up where ink (2017) left off by blasting us into the universe where anything is possible through various dance and music genres of the African Diaspora. The work includes captivating, live, and original music by Deah Love Harriott, Juliette Jones, Jaylen Petinuad, and Martine Wade.

The Joyce invites young audiences (ages 5 to 15) and their grown-ups to experience renowned companies together and to enjoy a special opportunity to meet the artists following the performances. All children must be accompanied by an adult paying full ticket price.
