Urban Bush Women (UBW), is a Brooklyn-based dance-theater company seeking to bring untold stories to light through dance. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community.
Through a partnership between the Fisher Center at Bard and the Red Hook Community Center, UBW will bring their Dance for Every Body workshop to the Hudson Valley. This movement jam/dance class embraces the ideas that each individual has a unique and powerful contribution to make, and that our bodies are a powerful source of agency. The goal is for “every body” to find their level of challenge and comfort and partake according to their abilities, and to appreciate the groups’ diversity as an attribute to their community. This is a movement class designed for the community so no prior dance experience is needed. Participants explore UBW’s technique with close attention to the use of breath, weight, call and response and polyrhythm.
