CORE Performance Company in Amsterdam
CORE Performance Company is in Amsterdam, Netherlands for two weeks working on one of their newest works-in-progress, Cumulus. Choreographer Beppie Blankert invited them to join her in her home city for a second creative period with this new work. Blankert has worked with the dancers to create this rich movement piece set to the music of Charles Ives and poetry of e.e. cummings, which examines emotions in a physical form. Originally, Blankert asked the dancers to bring picture books for visual inspiration, from which they formed a vocabulary of movement. As the title “Cumulus” suggests, the process was an accumulation of ideas, which are framed by the music of Ives. For more information on Blankert, visit her website linked below.

Fieldwork begins Feb. 19Several Dancers Core offers the Spring Fieldwork workshop on Tuesday nights beginning February 19. Neil Ellis Orts, writer and performer, will again facilitate this workshop for artists making new work in any medium. The workshops give individual artists a community of peers and a structure for receiving feedback and growing their works-in-progress. The ten weekly sessions will be held at Barnevelder from 7:30-9:30 p.m. and the showcase performance at the end of the workshops will be on April 29 (not April 30, as previously announced.)
If you are interested in participating but would like to get a feel for the process before registering, you may come to the first session on Feb. 19 for free.
