Urban Bush Women

Grant funds will support the development and tour of Haint Blu, a new ensemble dance-theater piece which aims to use performance as a source of healing. Named for the color that Southern families paint their front porches to ward off bad spirits, Haint Blu takes audiences through memory, magic and movement into stillness and rest. The project will tour to venues nationwide in a series of site-specific performances, tailored through residencies and community engagement activities to each of our partner communities.
