THIS IS RISK: ON TOUR

We bring the presence of Blackness to the table.
Not a race-based concept. A spectrum of excellence.
A centering of voices that don’t often get centered.

A centerpiece of Urban Bush Women’s 40th Anniversary Celebration, THIS IS RISK: ON TOUR, looks forward and back in celebrating four decades of operating at the vanguard of movement and social activism. The evening includes elements from three electrifying UBW performances: Visible, Haint Blu, Women’s Resistance, and more.

  • Visible portrays an immigrant’s search for language, connectivity, and self-identity in an alien land.

  • Haint Blu is steeped in memory and magic, taking us through movement into stillness and rest.

  • Women’s Resistance fuses power and grace in a call to collective action around truths that bind us all.

Engaging with the past requires risk.
Embracing the present requires risk.
Unleashing the future requires risk.
