CORE will premiere Songs of the South, celebrating the music,
culture and

performed with
the Jose Limón Company for 20 years and is artistic director of
Coreoarte, a
dance company based in Caracas, Venezuela. Elsie Smith, formerly
of Cirque du
Soleil, trained CORE members to perform on "aerial silks" in the
premiere of
Stolen Generation. This piece depicts scenes of children who
crossed 1500
miles of the Australian Outback desert while being pursued by
trackers.
