Description

UBW’s process of art-making involves iterative cycles of rigorous embodied research informed by radical Black experimentation in the fields of culture, politics and history. The UBW performers develop a self-directed solo practice that allows them to devise original works through a collaborative process.

The Generative Dancer : A comprehensive 7-day intensive in UBW’s techniques and methodologies for dancers ready to embody and discover their full power.

Our work produces dancers who develop their creativity, performance skills and studio practice as a part of understanding how the solo voice contributes to the collective voice. We will draw upon processes of physical storytelling through a rigorous course of study that includes:

  • Daily technique class that explores core strength, pelvic mobility, stabilization and creative power
  • Theater processes & games to build the physical storytelling capacity
  • Learning award winning UBW repertory
  • Deepening solo practice for choreographic inquiry
  • Theme based personal artistic research & movement development


There will be an informal showing at the end of the workshop.

June 24th - July 2nd

11am-6pm daily sessions

REFUND POLICY
The registration fee is non-refundable and may not be credited to any future UBW programming. Exceptions will only be considered for documented emergencies and at the discretion of UBW.

Organized by

Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women (UBW) seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light through dance under the artistic direction of Chanon Judson and Mame Diarra Speis. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community in order to create a more equitable balance of power in the dance world and beyond. As UBW approaches its 40 year legacy, we continue to use dance as both the message and the medium to bring together diverse audiences through innovative choreography, community collaboration and artistic leadership development.
