UFlyMothership
UFlyMothership is a musical and artistic collaboration of dancer, singer, and songwriter Tendayi Kuumba and barber, visual artist, and music producer Greg Purnell. Together, they have created multimedia experiences using sound, visuals, fashion, and movement since 2017. Each new piece, they say, “is a sonic portal of self discovery.”
A former touring company member of Urban Bush Women, Kuumba recently made her Broadway debut in David Byrne's America Utopia on Broadway, and appeared in the accompanying documentary film directed by Spike Lee. She will come to the Pillow having just traveled as a dancer with David Byrne’s “Who is the Sky?” world tour.
Purnell is a David Prize-winning creative and collaborator, born and bred in Brooklyn, who has worked with Urban Bush Women, The Illustrious Blacks, and a wide range of art, music, and film groups. He will come to the Pillow in the midst of his Look Good Feel Good Movement initiative, which provides partnership and free hair care to communities in need.
