Urban Bush Women

Direct from Brooklyn, New York in their only appearance in the UK this year

Founded in 1984 by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women is a performance ensemble dedicated to exploring the use of cultural expression as a catalyst for social change.  Based in Brooklyn, New York, UBW weaves contemporary dance, music, and text with the history, culture, and spiritual traditions of African Americans and the African Diaspora, exploring the transformation of struggle and suffering into the bittersweet joy of survival.

“a repertory of heart wrenching, soul-searching works that communicate the ecstasy and agony of the human condition”  Dance Magazine

Performances on Wed 23rd @ 8pm, and Thurs 24th @ 1pm and 8pm
