Duckling water dancer river spirit in her figure. Poise, elegant as ballerina form or an actress in black and white. Camille Dionne Jones was dancing before she could walk. Music erupted images of movement from the depths of subconscious to her limbs. Before she knew what choreographing was, she was practicing and inventing flowy, unique motions alone in her room to classical radio. This love for movement was fully acknowledged the moment she entered the Elementz Hip Hop Cultural Art Center. The pulse of the place hit her heart as her feet hit the floor. As a dancer she found tribe amongst the teachers and contemporaries there, helping to unify the environment by forming the dance group (CA)^2 (Confidently Creating Active Achievers). Having found a dance space to call home, she was able to give energy to other forms of her artistic practice, specifically film and creative writing. Camille’s love for the former was nurtured by the example and habit of her mother. Choosing to present her children with the works of black producers as a way of showing black excellence in the arts. Camille looks to her mother as a staple figure in encouraging her passion toward creating. Telling an emotionally impactful story is something that Camille strives for in all forms of her artistic practice. Her creative writing accentuates this fact through its raw depiction of black life in America. Centering around personal experiences and emotions involving family and friends, she immerses the audience in her world as though it were their own. She hopes to one day bring her writing to the screen. Producing films worthy of standing alongside the works of figures she appreciates, such as Barry Jenkins, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Spike Lee. Camille champions the next generation of artists through her example and tutelage. Working relentlessly to show that prayer and action can raise a community.
