“NEGOTIATING MY SASS”
This talk is about the creative process for BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play and the experience that changed the direction of the process and Ms. Brown’s performance life.

CAMILLE A. BROWN is a prolific choreographer who has achieved multiple accolades and awards for her daring works. Informed by her music background as a clarinetist, she utilizes musical composition as storytelling and makes a personal claim on history through the lens of a modern Black female perspective. She leads her dancers through excavations of ancestral stories, both timeless and traditional, that illustrate stories which connect history with contemporary culture.
