-Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice
Brown worked with acclaimed Japanese artist, architect, and theorist, Kenjiro Okazaki on I love my robots. His set allows for the dancers to interact with the stage, space and each other, highlighting the interplay between the living and the inert, blurring the lines between the two and exploring the ebbs and flows this will generate.
