“This is how you encompass a space! Brown’s choreography used that set like a jungle gym—with ensemblists bounding from scaffold to scaffold, using banquet tables like ramps in a skate park, and joining in dance with the string players. The energy inherent in her movement exploded from the bodies of the full cast. Whether popping in “What’s the Buzz?,” transitioning into the mellow “Last Supper,” or slinking into the ’20s bent of King Herod’s ladies, Brown conceived a vocabulary for each number that spoke one language for the show. The fact that she managed to meld individual movements within her big picture for a cast this size with such mastery, grace, and and wild abandon speaks to her command of choreography”
- Playbill
"Brown’s choreography brought something new to the stage while retaining nods to the original production and film. I particularly enjoyed the complicated movement during the temple and leper scenes, as well as the exceptional ensemble performances"
- Pop Culture Uncovered
“energy-lifting choreography.”
- Orland Sentinel
“Brown's movement imbues this community of disciples with a shared earnestness that eventually turns against the prophet in chants of "Crucify him!"
- Theater Mania
“…an exhilarating story using music, dance, acting…”
- AV/TV Club
“Camille A. Brown’s stellar choreography for the broadcast performance of JCS Live was gripping, rugged, and visceral. The connection the movement added to the story was impressive, and Brown, who is represented on Broadway as the choreographer for the current production of Once On This Island (which also stars Norm Lewis, the TONY® award winning actor who played Caiaphas in JCS Live), comes from a modern dance background and consistently strives for a dense gestural vocabulary and thoughtful storytelling. Brown’s ability to drive the story line with her movement, while, at the same time engage her audience and her dancers is a true mastery of the craft.”
