Creator and director Charlotte Brathwaite’s genre-defying work illuminates the realities and dreams of marginalized people; people whose stories have been silenced, disappeared, and ignored. Dealing with subject matter from the historical past to the distant future, she brings to light issues of justice, race, power, and the complexities of the human condition. A director of classical texts, multimedia, site-specific work, dance, opera, concert, film, and installations presented in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia – Brathwaite’s work lives in the deep time of aural/oral history and creates an immersive experience for audience and performer alike. Awards: Creative Capital, United States Artist, Map Fund, Princess Grace and others. MFA: Yale.
