SUMMARY:Mindful Bodies and Reflective Practices with Urban Bush Women
DESCRIPTION:All students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members are welcome; please register ASAP. \nMindful Bodies and Reflective Processes \nThis participatory workshop focuses on self-care\, rejuvenation\, and (re-) constructing healthful images of ourselves and our communities. As we move\, share stories\, and discuss holistic practices from food choices to daily stress relief\, Urban Bush Women BOLD Facilitators offer simple tools for reinhabiting our bodies and reinforcing holism from the inside out. We also bring out and affirm the wisdom that is already in the group\, fostering resource exchange and building community. The goal is to bring ourselves to balance\, thereby bringing our families and communities to balance as well. No dance or fitness experience is necessary…just a body and a willingness to exhale! \nAbout Urban Bush Women (UBW)\nURBAN BUSH WOMEN is a groundbreaking Black women-led theatrical dance company and social activism ensemble. Founded in 1984 by visionary choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, UBW is an engine and amplifier for the stories of Black Women+. UBW combines radical performance\, deep engagement\, and ancestral knowledge from the African diaspora into a force that is urgent\, forward-looking\, and essential. UBW has defied expectations for over 40 years. The very bodies of its founding members – Black women of various shapes and sizes – changed the landscape of who could be seen on stage as a dancer. The work placed the concerns of such women center stage. UBW embraces radical storytelling to activate social change. Whether creating genre-defying work for the stage\, guiding the development of Black Women+ choreographers and producers\, organizing for justice through artmaking\, UBW is an innovator\, operating at the vanguard. www.urbanbushwomen.org \nRegistration & Reservations\nBecause this workshop relies on participation and space is strictly limited\, we want to ensure every spot is utilized.
