The Fisher Center at Bard, one of the country’s leading multidisciplinary producing houses, offering extraordinary support to artists to realize ambitious and visionary projects, presents Urban Bush Women’s SCAT! The Complex Lives of Al & Dot, Dot & Al Zollar, June 28–30, part of SummerScape 2024. Conceived, choreographed, and directed by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, SCAT! tells the story of two people making their way in Kansas City—from the Great Migration to the present.

Urban Bush Women

Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women (UBW) seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light through dance. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community in order to create a more equitable balance of power in the dance world and beyond.
