Chiro-on-the-GO partnership with Urban Artistry




In keeping with their mission to create healthy enviroments for artists, Urban Artistry and the Soul Society Festival partner with Dr. Jen Faber to provide chiropractic services that are cost effective and portable!

We believe that giving dancers the knowledge of how to care for thier bodies enables them to progress in their movement careers with less chance of pain and injury. To live and dance without pain is truly a form of freedom, that anyone who has suffered can really relate too. Dr. Faber truly understands that dance is a way of life for us here at UA!

Premier: The House That Jack Built





Urban Artistry presents their premier performance of the new work: The House That Jack Built in the summer 2010. This year the Artistic Directors wanted to bring focus to the dances associated with House Music Culture, because it was im house music night clubs that many of the Urban Artistry Faculty initially met.

This performance traces house music and house dance back to the roots in African and Latin dances, as well as Martial Arts through live story-telling, dance, DJ, Drumming and vocal performances by Urban Artistry performers and directors. The show premiered locally from July 20-23, 2010 at The Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC and Nationally at The American Folk Festival in Bangor, Maine August 27-29, 2010.
