A convergence of artistic forces
August 8, 2020 1:23 PM   Subscribe

Founded in 2007 by Antoine Hunter, Urban Jazz Dance Company (performances here and here) consists of a mix of professional Deaf and Hearing dancers. UJD views Deafness not as a disability, but as a human experience with its own values, principles, and cultural norms. Dance is one way that they bring those values and vision to light.

UJD's annual Bay Area International Deaf Dance Festival will be moving online this year due to Covid. Featuring workshops and performances by Deaf artists and over 4 signed languages, the events starting this weekend will include Alvin Ailey American Dancer Samantha Figgins, Venezuela's Danzaluz, Lark Detweiler and more.
