A master of his craft, Carlyle Brown’s rigorous, extremely theatrical work occupies a wide range of aesthetic forms. Described by The New York Times as “one of America’s more significant Playwrights,” he has a long and rich history of reexamining historical figures and events and dramatizing them in a way that makes them accessible to present day audiences. Carlyle Brown & Company was formed in 2002 around a constellation of culturally and ethnically diverse artists to develop and perform his work in an atmosphere of collaborative co-creation. The Company’s interests are in innovations in dramatic form, rich story-telling and shaping ideas into theatrical events. Carlyle Brown & Company also has collaborative and creative partnerships with artists, as well as arts organizations, including The Playwrights’ Center and Illusion Theater in Minneapolis and The Camargo Foundation residency at Cassis in the South of France. #playwriting #pureconfidence #theaterphotography @ashantibrwn doc shoot
My beautiful grandmother Olivia. She raised me. I never felt like I was less than because I wasn’t raised by my mother, in fact I was always so proud to be my grandma’s baby, it made me feel special. She loved me. Man oh man did she love me. I’ve dreaded this day my entire life, I always wondered what would happen to me if something happened to my grandmother, but somehow I’m prepared, my whole life she prepared me for this moment. The grief is enormous because the love was so great. Well done Olivia Beatrice Brown Fields. You were my greatest love. ❤️
