Overview
Urban Bush Women’s Hair & Other Stories is a dance-theater work that explores race, identity, and ideas of beauty through the lens of Black women’s hair. It reflects on what constitutes freedom, liberation, and release in our everyday struggles to rise to our Extra-ordinary Selves in extraordinary times. This is the urgent dialogue of the 21st Century.
Hair & Other Stories is an experience for nontraditional spaces, where performers and audiences may connect and interact with one another.
“Part church revival, part dance party, part therapeutic reckoning, part history lesson… wholly and fully engaging of mind, body and spirit… a permanent haircut or dye job for your intellect and soul.”
–DC Metro Theater Arts
