Urban Bush Women, founded by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, is a civically engaged dance theater company that unearths and articulates under-told stories through dance informed by the Women+ and African Diasporic experience. Urban Bush Women seeks to foster a more equitable and diverse community within the arts, while creating life-affirming work that challenges the socio-political status-quo.

As part of their 40th-anniversary celebration, this ground-breaking dance theater company has curated a program of deeply-affecting works informed by the Civil Rights movement, ancestral wisdom, and the expansion of women’s rights.
