Lula Washington Dance Theatre

For 40 years, Lula Washington has explored political, social and humanitarian issues through dance. A native Angeleno, Washington studied dance at UCLA, then established her own company that has toured the world, creating powerful, visceral, memorable works over the last 40 years in styles encompassing African, Afro-Haitian, modern, ballet, street and gospel. For this pair of performances, she presents several world premieres by up-and-coming choreographers, centering on our times and the city of Los Angeles.
