FieldworkHoned by artists around the world for over 30 years, Fieldwork continues to be a powerful tool in the creative process. Participants meet weekly to share works-in-progress and exchange peer feedback, with incisive and stimulating critiques guided by an experienced facilitator. Fieldwork is for Creators - Solo Performing Artists, Writers, Composers, Choreographers, Playwrights, Multidisciplinary Artists, Poets, Vocalists and more. Fieldwork artists meet for 6 to 8 weeks to share works in progress and objective, non-directorial, artist-to-artist facilitated feedback in a studio setting. The Fieldwork Showcase is frequently offered as the culmination of the Fieldwork Workshop Session, sharing new work and original work, never before seen or shared with the public.

Dynamic X-ChangeDynamic: energy or power in motion X: the unknown factor in any equation
Change: to become different, to be transformed Through Dynamic X-Change Healing Arts Program, the teaching artists of Core Dance offer dance as a tool to teach, to connect, to heal, and to inspire. Working in partnership with and in service of our communities, this connection of movement and energy cultivates the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical well-being of people of all ages. Since 1993, Core Dance has activated Dynamic X-Change in support of those living in challenging situations and oftentimes isolated because of their circumstances – dealing with abuse, homelessness, language barriers, refugee status, aging, AIDS. Careful attention to human needs, years of teaching experience, and a finely attuned sense of the stories our bodies have to tell informs and guides the process. What results for the participants – community members and Core Dance Artist - is change in their lives that is grounded in their bodies and derived from creative interpretation of life and its array of experiences through movement The substance and depth inherent in working with and alongside our community provide unfeigned inspiration and supports Core Dance’s art making processes in increasingly authentic and relevant ways, completing the X-Change. . |

Sharing Knowledge and Passion
One of the things that drives Core Dance is our desire to share learning and passion. This is not a program per se, but as part of who we are, we constantly seek opportunities to enrich others. Following up on our creation of Life Interrupted, a 2015 choreographic work that examined the internment of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent during WWII, we are pleased to present a treasure of resources that teachers, dance makers, and dance presenters can freely access for their own purposes.
