CORE Performance Company in Brink:Break::Broke:? from CORE Dance on Vimeo.

CORE Performance Company premiered the magical site-specific performance “BRINK:BREAK::BROKE:?” at the 40th Annual Capital One Bank Bayou City Art Festival on October 8, 2011. CORE performed throughout the festival grounds in Downtown Houston, bringing the magic of dance to the crowd and enhancing audience members’ experience of the festival with fanciful and engaging vignettes.

The theme for this original dance performance, which filled Downtown Houston with color and movement, was “Breakthrough.” The dancers were costumed in Commedia dell’arte style in a nod to the harlequins in BCAF featured artist Kreg Yingst’s work.
