THIS IS RISK @ BAM

Performing at BAM for the first time since 2015, Urban Bush Women presents THIS IS RISK, featuring three powerful, disparate works by Zollar. I Live in Music is a vibrant new reimagining of Zollar's 1994 original, a love letter to jazz anchored by Ntozake Shange’s poem of the same name. Shelter (1988) explores contemporary and historical relationships of people displaced by homelessness, the middle passage, and forced migration. Batty Moves (1995) honors Sarah Baartman, the so-called “Hottentot Venus” taken from South Africa to appear in European sideshows in the early 1800s, and celebrates seeing beauty in all the different shapes, sizes, and shades we come in.
