Our collaborating composer/musician, Terrence Karn
Musician and composer, Terrence Karn, is collaborating with CORE Performance Company on the new piece, Corazón Abriendo (Heart Opening) that will premiere in Houston at the Heinen Theatre on November 17-18, 2006.
Traveling down to Chiapas with the dancers and video artist (last month's highlighted collaborator, Maya Ciarrochi,) Terrence experienced Mayan culture and has created a sound score inspired by the experience. He even learned to handweave! (And we have a photo to prove it...see right.)
Terrence has over 25 years of experience as a composer, musician, percussionist and dancer. Trained in ballet, flamenco and mime, Karn has performed with major companies in the US, Canada, and Europe. Karn teaches dance at the Houston Ballet Academy, is co-director of Gypsy Dance Theater and serves as Music Director for the University of Houston Dance Department. He has scored musical compositions for many prominent modern dance companies, and works with a variety of ethnic bands as a featured musician and dancer.
