8. UGA Department of Dance Presents
CORE SPRING COLLECTION 2007
February 28 – March 3 at  8:00 PM
Held at the New Dance Theatre, UGA Dance Building on Sanford Drive

CORE Concert Dance Company Spring Collection 2007 will feature dance, music, film and aerial
arts performed by UGA dance majors, Catherine Herrmann, Claire Molla, Cara O’Grady, Jennifer
Plesher, Emily Sims, Amelia Murphy and Corie B. Thomas. Guests performing with the company are
Hariqbal Basi, Sally O’Grady, Taylor Faust, Seth Hendershot and Jay Varnedoe.

CORE Concert Dance Company will premiere Mystic Portal, a six-part piece integrating aerial arts
to portray a magical journey through space and time. CORE transcends aerial illusions in Skywalk,
a film with an electronic music score created by UGA Music School graduate and five-year
collaborator Ryan Burruss (who is currently studying and composing music in The Hague,
Netherlands).  The POPular CULTar’ dance series will feature live electronic percussion by Seth
Hendershot, a well-known Athens musician who joins the company in an improvisational format to
depict a whimsical look at Iconidentity. CORE will unfold other dance premieres that reflect various
scenes, genres and stylistic attributes found in popular music and culture, including Indie Nights,
The Way She Moves, The Bachelor from Rome and In d’ Club. A triple academic major at UGA - and
winner of a national Bollywood dance contest - Hariqbal Basi  joins CORE with Bollywood Fusion, a
tour de force solo combining traditional and contemporary Middle Eastern dance styles. Two
dances originally premiered in New York City; 5 Degrees of Separation (2001) and Urban Birds
(2002) will showcase the dancers’ technical virtuosity and stamina. Urban Birds was staged by
guest choreographer Larry Keigwin and has been performed at the American Dance Festival,
Jacobs Pillow, Bates Dance Festival and throughout the US by Keigwin’ New York City based dance
company. This humorous piece has been an audience favorite of Keigwin’s work in NYC since its
inception. Pete Gorneault, MFA ’05 UGA Theatre and Film Department graduate and technical
director in the Department of Dance, will generate lighting design and special effects to
compliment digitally generated film projection by Bala Sarasvati.
