Charlene Jean is an experimental theatrical artist, performer, playwright, and producer. She is a playwright of BRICKS (A 20-YEAR MUSIC TOUR OF REPARATIONS). BRICKS is an always-changing script-template detailing the history-repeating shared injustice of »buried« towns, considers the spiritual/land-memory implication of gentrification, and reimagines the biblical story of Jericho as a communal work-strike to alleviate the shared suffering particularly of our Black ancestors and our Unhoused. Her works, which also include KING AFUA and SHIT IN THE BLOOD: A BIOMYTHOGRAPHY OF RECIPES, have been presented at Weeksville Heritage Center, Harlem Film House, Mother New York, International Society of Curational Programming, and JACK Arts Radical Acts Festival. Next, Charlene will act as dramaturg for UGBA (Ungrateful Black Artist)’s show, Dark Skin Support Group, through the Public Theatre’s Emerging Writer’s Group. She will also enjoy a Musical Theatre lab at Manhattan School of Music, a Movement Research lab at Judson Memorial Church, a New Works series at the Brick Theatre, and a Hi-Arts CRITICAL BREAKS Residency, culminating in a live cast album recording of BRICKS, in which she will also perform.
