  As I write this I have deadlines looming, emails to be sent, newsletters to be scheduled, my bathroom to be cleaned, grocery shopping to be done, and (don’t forget!) it’s tax season. With all those tasks in mind, I definitely found the overlying theme of CORE Dance Collective’s new performance Frayed Edges relatable.
  
  This dance, choreographed by Kelli Leighton, explores “the feeling of being ‘pulled apart’ by all the demands on our time and energy, to the point where we are losing our sense of self.” Sound familiar? Collapse

  Although this weekend’s remaining shows are sold out, you need to put CORE Dance Collective’s The Doorway on your radar for its next incarnation. Currently in its third season, The Doorway takes the audience on a tour through an old Victorian house. Set to alternately ethereal and pumping electronic music (think Apparat, Ellen Allien, Bjork, The Presets, etc.), this contemporary dance performance is eerie, elegant, and captivating. Collapse

  I attended THE DOORWAY last October and was blown away by the dynamic movement and the dancers commitment to character. This show has something for everyone. At times it is dark and creepy, other times humorous and even touching. From staging to lighting to costumes to character to choreography this show is impressive. I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like it in this area before. It is not to be missed. Come see the show and you'll know exactly what I mean. From the moment you enter the lobby of the theater the show has begun and it will stay with you long after you leave. Collapse
