Several Dancers visit seniors in Katy
(Katy, Texas) – ARTreach and Several Dancers Core joined forces to share the arts with senior citizens through a tour of dance presentations in senior residential communities and medical care facilities in Katy and Harris County.
On Novemeber 13th at 11:45-1:00 p.m., the CORE Performance Company, the professional dance company of Several Dancers Core visited Providence Place Retirement Community. The dancers performed excerpts from its current performance repertory in a lecture-demonstration format, and a workshop program called Elder Stories. Through these presentations, the participants were introduced to the concept of movement as a form of communication. Elder Stories solicits stories from the seniors about their childhoods, their work life, their families, anything of importance to them. The dancers of CORE Performance Company then translate these stories into movement. The program was highly engaging and captivated the attention of all the participants.
ARTreach and the residents of Providence Place wish to thank The Several Dancers Core. This program was made possible thanks to a grant from the Houston Arts Alliance’s Touring and Neighborhood Arts Program. To learn more about the Several Dancers Core visit http://www.severaldancerscore.org/
