June 10, 13-18
Conceived, directed and choreographed by UBW Co-Artistic Directors Chanon Judson & Mame Diarra Speis, Haint Blu is an ensemble dance-theater work "seeped in memory and magic. Known as the color that Southern families paint their front porches to ward off bad spirits, Haint Blu uses performance as a center and source of healing, taking audiences from movement into stillness and rest. The production arose from the urgent concern for the wellness of Black Women+. With its focus on remembering, reclaiming, releasing, and restoring, the work explores what has been lost across generations and what can be recovered," according to the release. Find out more here
