Act I: What It Is
In Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man, “the Invisible Man’s decision to live underground is not a retreat, the symbol of defeat or an escape. It is in fact the next stage on his path towards enlightenment and self-understanding, the conduit towards autonomy and activity.” “Changing the Joke: Invisibility in Merleau-Ponty & Ellison” by Jeremy Weate in Philosophia Africana, Vol 6., No. 1
What It Is Beat It Out What’s Your Damage? Scheduled Programming
Inspired by Mel Watkins’ book, On The Real Side: From Slavery to Chris Rock, Spike Lee’s controversial movie Bamboozled, and Dave Chappelle’s “dancing vs. shuffling” analogy, this evening-length dance theater work is a bitingly humorous look at minstrelsy, black face and the “double consciousness” (W.E.B. DuBois) and the “mask” of survival that Black performers have had to endure throughout history. Through comedy, live original music, animation, theater, and poignantly retrospective dance vocabulary, Mr. TOL E. RAncE addresses the stereotypical roles that have been assigned to Black popular culture, and speaks to the issue of tolerance–how much Black performers have had to tolerate and how modern forms of minstrelsy are still tolerated by Black performers today. Blending and contrasting the contemporary with the historic, this deeply personal work strives to engage the community in a timely–and always relevant–dialogue about where we, as Black artists, have been, where we are, and where we might want to be. The creation of Mr. TOL E. RAncE was supported by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with the New England Foundation for the Arts through the National Dance Project (NDP). Major support for NDP is provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation. This work was created, in part, during a Creative Development Residency at the Bates Dance Festival and Kingsborough Community College. This work was also funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Production residency for this work was supported by the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This residency took place at The Grier School and Halbritter Center for the Performing Arts at Juniata College, Huntingdon, PA. Lead support for this revival of Mr. TOL E. RAncE has been provided by Jay Franke and David Herro with additional support provided by the New York State Council on the Arts and the Harkness Foundation for Dance.

CAMILLE A. BROWN, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Camille A. Brown is a prolific Black female choreographer and director who is reclaiming the cultural narratives of African American identity. Her bold work taps into both ancestral stories and contemporary culture to capture a range of deeply felt experiences. Ms. Brown strives to instill curiosity and reflection in diverse audiences through her thought-provoking work. Her driving passion is to empower Black bodies to tell their story using their own language through movement and dance. Ms. Brown has received numerous honors for her powerful body of work. She is the recipient of the 2021 ISPA/International Society for the Performing Arts’ Distinguished Artist Award, a 2020 Dance Magazine Award, and a 2020 Obie Award for Sustained Excellence in Choreography. She is a Ford Foundation Art of Change Fellow, a United States Artists Award-winner, two-time Audelco Award recipient, Bessie Award recipient, five-time Princess Grace Award-winner, a Guggenheim Fellow, a Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award recipient, a New York City Center Award recipient, a TED Fellow, a Doris Duke Artist Award recipient, and an Emerson Collective Fellow. Most recently, she was named one of The Kennedy Center’s Next 50 artists. Her work has been commissioned by renowned dance organizations such as Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Urban Bush Women, Complexions, Ballet Memphis, and Hubbard Street II, to name a few. Her work, City of Rain, originally created for her Company in 2010, entered the repertory of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in December 2019.
Her Trilogy on race culture and identity has won accolades across the country. The Bessie Award-winning Mr. TOL E. RAncE (2012/2019 revival) investigates the “mask of survival” and media stereotypes of African Americans, and explores how Black performers have taken the pain of stereotypes and transformed them by ingenuity into humor and joy. The Bessienominated BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play (2015) reveals the complexity of carving out a selfdefined identity as a Black female in urban American culture. Brown uses the rhythmic play found in African American social dancing—Double Dutch, Steppin’, Tap, Juba, Ring Shout, and gesture—as the Black woman’s domain to evoke childhood memories of self-discovery. Cristina Greer, Ph.D. wrote in Amsterdam News that BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play was “… one of the most powerful representations of Black girlhood I have ever witnessed. Brown created a moving masterpiece that was a narrative of Black adolescence never conceptualized before.” ink (2017), the final installation of the Trilogy, premiered at The Kennedy Center to critical acclaim. “What unfolds is a parade of the beautiful diverse spectrum that is blackness...at once performing yet simply being” (Theresa Ruth Howard, Fjord Magazine). ink celebrates the rituals, gestural vocabulary, and traditions that remain ingrained within the lineage of the African diaspora from generation to generation. It examines the culture of Black life that is often rewritten or silenced—Black love, brotherhood, and community. DC Metro Arts proclaimed, “ink is, ultimately, embodied history that touches hearts and souls.” Following ink’s New York City premiere in 2019, Ms. Brown and the Company were invited to partner with Google Arts & Culture to film a site-specific performance of ink at the Brooklyn Historical Society for Black History Month. ink was honored on The New York Times “Best Dance of 2019” list and its finale was performed at the 2019 Bessie Awards, which was Broadcast on PBS’ All Arts and on WLIW-TV. Ms. Brown’s interest in storytelling extends to choreographic work for theater, where she’s received awards and Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her work. Her Broadway and Off-Broadway theater and television credits include Tarell Alvin McCraney’s Choir Boy (Tony and Drama Desk nominations), Tony Award-winning Broadway revival Once On This Island (Drama Desk, Outer Critics, and Chita Rivera nominations), Toni Stone (Drama Desk, Lortel nominee), Emmy Award-winning Jesus Christ Superstar Live on NBC, Broadway’s A Streetcar Named Desire, The Fortress of Solitude (Lortel Nomination), BELLA: An American Tall Tale (Lortel, Audelco nominee), for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf (Drama Desk, Lortel nominations, Antonyo award), and Much Ado About Nothing (Audelco winner, SDCF finalist) for Shakespeare in the Park, among others. Ms. Brown made her Metropolitan Opera debut as choreographer for Porgy and Bess in 2019, and her choreography for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (dir: George C. Wolfe) was released on Netflix in November 2020. On September 27, 2021, Brown made history as the Metropolitan Opera’s first Black director of a mainstage production, co-directing (with James Robinson) and choreographing Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones, which will be broadcast on PBS on April 1, 2022. In spring 2022, Brown will make history again as she both directs and choreographs for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf on Broadway— the first Black woman to both direct and choreograph a Broadway show in 65 years. Ms. Brown’s TED-Ed talk, A Visual History of Social Dance in 25 Moves, has over 15 million views on Facebook. Ms. Brown is a graduate of the LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts and received a B.F.A. from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

Lila Downs Lila Downs is one of the most influential artists in Latin America. Whether it’s a full-throated mariachi song, an achingly tender bolero, or sultry jazz tune, this GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter draws audiences in with her unmistakable charisma and inspiring storytelling. Singing in Spanish, English, and several Native American languages, Downs is known for her impressive range and joyous performances with her longtime band. She grew up in both Minnesota and Mexico, the child of a Scottish-American father and Mixtec mother. Drawing from her multicultural heritage, Downs’ songs often focus on justice, immigration, and women’s issues. “Downs is a consummate performer whose three-octave vocal range shines in songs of comedy or tragedy, be they from Central America or Glasgow” (The Guardian).
