Urban Bush Women (UBW) kicks off their 40th Anniversary with a week-long series at Lincoln Center! Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, and now led by co-artistic directors Chanon Judson and Mame Diarra Spies, this Brooklyn-based performance ensemble and dance company brings untold and under-told stories to light from a woman-centered perspective. As members of the African Diaspora community, they use dance as a message and medium to bring together diverse audiences through innovative choreography, community collaboration, and artistic leadership development.

As part of Summer for the City, the Urban Bush Women company will offer participatory workshops, a discussion series led by BIPOC Women+ producers, and site-reflective performances of their newest work, Haint Blu! All events are free, first-come, first-served.
