Mason Gross Dance Presents: Urban Bush Women
Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women (UBW), is a Brooklyn-based performance ensemble and dance company. Now under the artistic direction of Chanon Judson and Mame Diarra Speis, UBW seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories to light through dance. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community in order to create a more equitable balance of power in the dance world and beyond.
The performance will include Blues Medicine, Hard Time Blues, Blues Melody, Walking with 'Trane Quartet (excerpt), and Shelter and will feature live music performed by Grace Galu Kalambay and Lucianna Padmore.
