Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival

Jacob’s Pillow will present Camille A. Brown & Dancers July 31 - August 4, during the annual 2024 summer Festival. Recipient of the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award in 2016, three-time Tony Award-nominated director and choreographer Camille A. Brown returns to the roots of her own dance company, presenting the world premiere of I AM in the Ted Shawn Theatre. Developed in part through a Pillow Lab residency in 2023 and inspired by the “I AM” episode of the HBO series Lovecraft Country, this exciting and uplifting work is accompanied by a live band and features the dances and gestures of the African diaspora to celebrate the past, and boldly push into the future. Camille A. Brown, and her community engagement platform EVERY BODY MOVE (EBM), will also lead a free three-day community residency in Pittsfield, MA in advance of their performance engagement.
