Constantly living into the legacy of our founding in 1980, CORE, the organizational home of CORE Performance Company, innovates, collaborates, mentors, investigates and builds community, especially through our internationally-acclaimed original dance work. Mindfully cross-cultural and inclusive, we reach audiences for both short and long term experiences through 3 primary avenues of artistic programming: 1) CORE PERFORMS: CORE?s renowned professional contemporary dance company offers world premieres in contemporary dance before taking these new works on tour, nationally and internationally; 2) CORE PRESENTS: unveils dance by CORE and by acclaimed dance artists from around the world, often in partnership with leading arts organizations and venues; 3) CORE CONNECTS: offers programs that reach isolated populations, open doors of dance education, appreciation, and experience, and bring artists together to support one another in the creative process.
