Marc Bamuthi Joseph returns to Actors Theatre after premiering the break/s during the 2008 Humana Festival. He is the Artistic Director of the HBO documentary Brave New Voices and an inaugural recipient of the United States Artists Fellowship. Premiering at Yerba Buena Center this fall, and visiting the Walker Arts Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music among other sites, his performance piece, red black and GREEN: a blues, engages the eco-equity movement in Black neighborhoods across America. In 2011, he premieres a commissioned libretto for the Atlanta Ballet, and is co-writing a narrative score for the Chicago Jazz Ensemble with Amiri Baraka in 2012. Bamuthis Word Becomes Flesh was re-mounted in December 2010 as part of the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces series, and will tour throughout North America and Hawaii through 2012.
