Dance Is Story

If you think dance is just movement set to music, you’re missing something big. Award-winning director and choreographer Camille A. Brown argues that dance is the act of using physical gesture to manifest story—stories about ourselves, the lives we’ve lived, and where we’re from. Camille, whose work celebrates Black culture, helps Dwayne see the ways he’s moved through prison and his work with Freedom Reads as a liberatory dance for his community.  For more on our guest, Camille A Brown: https://www.camilleabrown.org/  Almost There is produced by Eric Nuzum and Jesse Baker of Magnificent Noise for Emerson Collective.
