Liberian Girl in Brooklyn is a snapshot of Marcelle’s family history – using dance, music and drama. She starts her exploration with the experiences of her grandmother – an American missionary in Liberia, West Africa. The piece continues, telling the story of Marcelle’s mother who was born on the mission in Liberia. Songs and movement of American and West African influences are interwoven to shape this piece.
