Walking with Pearl...Southern Diaries

The life of African American dance pioneer Pearl Primus serves as the inspiration for Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar's polyrhythmic travelogues through Africa and the American South in the two parts of Walking with Pearl. Sometimes Landscapes Whisper, a new duet, blends the usual UBW fierceness with the lyrical music of Messiaen. Convoys, Curfews and Roadblocks, an explosive solo by UBW company member and guest choreographer Nora Chipaumire, comments on the political situation in her homeland, Zimbabwe. Zollar's raucous favorite, Batty Moves, is an homage to the female form.
