Please note: Due to closure of Ann Arbor Public Schools today January 12, this school day performance has been canceled.
Urban Bush Women burst onto the dance scene in 1984 and has made an indelible mark on the field with bold, innovative works that challenge long-held assumptions about women, people of color, body types, styles of movement, society, and history. Hair & Other Stories is a dance and theater work that addresses matters of race, gender identity, and economic inequality through the lens of hair, primarily that of African-American women.
