Urban Bush Women stage ‘Hair Stories’ Feb. 28

3:13 p.m., Feb. 12, 2004--The music, dance and storytelling of African Americans and African people worldwide is fused with spiritual and cultural traditions and history in the popular multimedia work, “Hair Stories,” to be performed at UD by the Urban Bush Women at 8 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 28, in Mitchell Hall.

Blending choreography, music and text, the performance examines the concept of nappy hair and its relationship to images of beauty, social position, heritage and self-esteem.

The Hair Party, a campus and community dialogue about women’s hair, heritage and self-esteem, free and open to the public, also is scheduled with the troupe at 4 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27, in Bayard Sharp Hall.

Tickets for each Performing Arts Series events are $17 for the general public, $12 for UD faculty, staff, alumni and senior citizens and $5 for students and children.

Tickets can be purchased by phone or in person at the Hartshorn Hall box office. The phone number is 831-2204, and the box office is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.

The performance and workshop are presented in partnership with UD’s Center for Black Culture, the Office of Women’s Affairs and the Visiting Women Scholars Program. This engagement of Urban Bush Women is a Delaware Arts Presenters Pilot project, a partnership between the Delaware Division of the Arts and Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, funded by the foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program.

The University of Delaware 2003-04 Performing Arts Series and Family Series is made possible, in part, by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency committed to promoting and supporting the arts in Delaware, as well as generous support provided by Barba & Reynolds Insurance Agency, Embassy Suites-Newark/Wilmington South and Arby’s.
