Camille A. Brown & Dancers: Ink

2 dancers with violinist on stage

It started in silence with a sitting dancer, moving hands and arms. But then the drums kicked in, and the dancing started. The musicians were on the stage: piano, 2 drummers, and violin. And when the drumming and dancing picked up, it was incredible: vigorous, dynamic, exciting.

After the show, without any break, 2 dancers came in front of the curtain to talk to the audience. First they asked for adjectives: people’s feeling for the show. But then it descended into bafflegab. At one point Camille came out to join them. She said that one of her themes was superheroes, and that the indication was standing straight with arms on hips, or else, tearing open your shirt to reveal the superman badge. I didn’t get that from the show – but it didn’t matter.
