Urban Bush Women at 25 Years: Have You Been Bushified?

In 1984 on June 30, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar founded Urban Bush Women (UBW), a radically different kind of dance company that involves the community in its art-making. On June 30, 2010, UBW launched its new website to share more of our art and stories and people with the community. Come visit us and get bushified!
