SUMMARY:Special Event: Urban Bush Women
DESCRIPTION:Details: \n\n\n\nTHIS IS RISK\, looks forward and back in celebrating four decades of operating at the vanguard of movement and social activism. THIS IS RISK takes the audience through intentional storytelling to the next space of collective brilliance. This energetically charged evening includes iconic works by Founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, featuring live music\, including the return of Shelter\, a full performance of Batty Moves\, last performed in 2002\, and a new commission\, Contemplations on Legacy\, by long-time UBW collaborator and choreographer Vincent E. Thomas. \n\n\n\nURBAN BUSH WOMEN (UBW) is a groundbreaking Black women-led theatrical dance company and an agent for social change. 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 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 societal transformation. 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. \n\n\n\nThis performance will be taking place in the Polk Theater at TPAC.  Our group has been granted a group discounted rate for this performance. All seats are located in the orchestra level.  There are three ticket options to choose from (based on location within the venue) Ticket A is $45 per ticket\, Ticket B is $34 per ticket\, and Ticket C is $23 per ticket.  The more expensive tickets will be located closer to the stage within the orchestra level.  This group pricing discount will save you money versus purchasing individually through the box office. This production is scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm. \n\n\n\nTickets must be picked up from Will Call/Box Office with a photo I.D. ideally no later than 30 minutes before the show starts. This is a special event which means we do not meet as a group. However\, our group seats will be located in close proximity to one another. Each family that purchases tickets will indeed have seats next to each other. If multiple families are going together\, it is important that you notify Jennifer that you want tickets next to each other. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Do your own research before determining if this show is suitable for your kids\, each family is different. \n\n\n\nRSVP and payment for guaranteed seats are due by 5 pm on August 20\, 2026\, unless they sell out sooner. \n\n\n\nTickets may be able to be secured after the due date only if seats are still available. Contact Jennifer after the due date so she can check directly with the venue. This trip requires a minimum to proceed. \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nTennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) \n\n\n\nRules & Regulations: \n\n\n\nEach individual attending this trip/event must have a ticket purchased directly from Nashville Homeschool Calendar by the ticket purchase deadline. If tickets are not secured through Nashville Homeschool Calendar by such deadline\, individuals will not be permitted to participate in the trip/event. Walk-ins or individuals who purchase tickets outside of Nashville Homeschool Calendar (contacting the venue directly) will not be accepted as part of the group. \n\n\n\nNo refunds due to the short window of ticket sales. It is your responsibility to find someone to take your place if you can no longer attend or you will forfeit your tickets. Admin fees are non-refundable. \n\n\n\nBookings open immediately for all members.
