“Triple-threat performers who dance, sing and act
with a searing sense of truthfulness.”
—The New York Times
This formidable ensemble wakes up audiences with its physicality and furious energy. Founded by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women produces work that bears witness to the transformation of struggle and suffering into the bittersweet joy of survival. In Hair Stories this powerful company fuses dance, music and storytelling to create a visual and aural feast about the relationship of African-American women to their hair. Stay after the performance for a Meet-the-Artists discussion.
