The symposium, hosted by visiting Prof. Hana Iverson's Art and Social Justice class, will focus on how UBW performances explore the cultural influences of the African Diaspora based on women's experiences. The Company has toured extensively both nationally and internationally, and to widespread critical acclaim.
