CHATHAM, N.Y. â Camille A. Brown & Dancers begin a five-week residency Feb. 15 at PS21 â Performance Spaces for the 21st Century, 2980 Route 66.
Funded by the Andrew W.

Camilleâs artistic vision and commitment to community engagement through programs . adapted to virtual and socially distanced modes during the pandemic, and its virtual Social Dance for Social Change school dovetail perfectly with our own community service initiatives and our conceptions of the role of the arts in contemporary life, PS21 artistic and executive director Elena Siyanko said in a prepared statement.
