Daveed - Brown 2026 Alumni Even

As part of Brown 2026, a campus-wide initiative that will mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Tony and Grammy award-winning actor, writer, and producer Daveed Diggs ’04 joined Professor of Africana Studies Tricia Rose for a conversation about art, theater, and democracy.

Diggs is widely known for originating the dual roles of Thomas Jefferson and Marquis de Lafayette in “Hamilton,” for which he won a Tony award. Throughout his creative career, he has continued to explore some of the questions at the heart of a pluralistic, democratic society, such as who counts, who participates, and why.

“This method of research to performance, and creating art and theater based on rigorous research of the things going on in society around you, searching for the ‘why’ and then figuring out a way to perform that — that was what really my performance experience at Brown University was about,” said Diggs. “Getting to come at it from that kind of perspective was a continuation of how I'd been growing up in the Bay Area and reaffirmed my already-existing value system on how we can create work that speaks to the moment — and that also was really fun.”

RAFAEL CASAL & DAVEED DIGGS - PHILADELPHIA FILM FESTIVAL (2018)

Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal at the Philadelphia Film Festival Springfest preview screening of "Blindspotting."

For Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, it all goes back to Oakland. That was where they grew up, where they first met as kids and became life-long friends. Now, all these years later, long after both of them have moved away, Oakland has become the site, the subject and a virtual character in their first film together, Blindspotting.

Diggs and Casal came up together in the underground poetry world of Oak Town (a local nickname for the city). As teens they used to hang out at the local poetry slams; Diggs jokingly said that underground poetry is to Oakland as going to basketball games is to Philadelphia. This started getting both of them some notice, first locally and then they exploded out of the Bump City, going world-wide.

I don't usually go out of my way to talk about projects from the actors in Snowpiercer but I started listening to Daveed's band clipping. again and if you like industrial music or rap music you should definitely check them out! I'm partial to Visions of Bodies Being Burned and There Existed An Addiction To Blood and those are easily my favourite albums for when I'm driving.
