| Abstract | Urban Bush Women is an extraordinary dance/theatre company led by artistic director, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Since 1984, the group has been internationally acclaimed for creating works that celebrate the heritage of African Americans. In April 1995, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts sponsored a residency with the Urban Bush Women. The Urban Bush Women interact with communities through workshops and performances. Using historic perspectives on dance, music, song and folklore, the company affirms many aspects of African-American life. Through interviews with participants and watching them perform, this program will explore the impact of the interaction on the community, Urban Bush Women, and the museum. |
