Zollar's intertwined artistic-political agenda makes for an overlapping of her roles as artist and community worker. She involves herself and her company in community issues not just through the work she creates, but also through arts-in-education projects, financial remuneration for which can sometimes be meager or nothing at all. As part of its mission, the company does several annual workshops, lecture demonstrations, and performances for school audiences. This is an essential part of the company's engagements for Zollar, who realized early that if her life had to be "moving from one hotel room to another" (Zollar, 1994, pers. comm.), it had to yield more than an egocentric concentration on her own artistic pursuits. As Lloyd Daniel, UBW education consultant, says, a primary goal of the company is to create "a new dancer for a new society," an "artist/athlete/thinker/healer/organizer committed to the liberation of women, people of color, and all those who have nothing other than their labor to sell. As we learn, grow, and create beauty we hope to help in the building of a more sane and just society" (UBW, "Divas on the Road," Dec. 1992, p. 2). |
