Urban Bush Women

Urban Bush Women, the groundbreaking, Black women-led, Brooklyn-based theatrical dance company and social activists founded in 1984 by visionary choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, is an engine and an amplifier for the unheard and under-told stories of Black Women+. The award-winning, internationally-acclaimed ensemble combines revolutionary performance, deep-healing community engagement, and ancestral knowledge from the African diaspora into a palpable, forward-looking, and essential cultural force. For over 40 years, UBW has defied expectations and easy categorization with its bold, narrative, and thought-provoking storytelling.
