Camille A. Brown is a prolific choreographer making 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.  She is a four-time Princess Grace Award winner, 2016 Jacob's Pillow Dance Award recipient, and 2016 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient.
