core project is a movement based interdisciplinary arts collective pushing the boundaries of storytelling in chicago.
the project is committed to exploration of the human journey through movement, music, media and text in live performance. in doing so core project artists take the audience deep into stories and issues asking viewers to step into the lives and questions presented in the work.
core project has just wrapped up a year long exploration in the isolation and connectivity experienced amidst our everyday urban landscapes. this exploration manifested in individual installments throughout the past year, and culminated on Dec 15, 2007 with core project's first full length performance: hint of it.
hint of it brought together a host of chicago artists working across numerous mediums to create an immersive performance experience. core project artists have already begun work on the next phase of creation and look forward to a second year that can only be more incredible than the first. please keep updated on upcoming performances and take an opportunity to come and see what we are all about.
