Performance

Prey is a marriage between the raw, blind intensity to survive with a tender reverence for life.

“…the modern-dance version of an eloquent short-story writer.”
-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

“..uncommonly committed performers in choreography as vivid and true as a Eudora Welty story.”
-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

Cora Dance is the contemporary dance company that performs the collaborative choreographic works of Shannon Hummel. Sophisticated, inventive and accessible, Shannon Hummel's works are vivid explorations of the human condition. Her choreography lays bare the intimate underpinnings of relationships through her masterful direction of movement intention. Richly theatrical yet uniquely physical, she marries the abstract power of compelling dancing with narrative's concrete force of emotion. Hummel is a weaver of eloquent, absorbing stories brought to life by an outstanding ensemble of performers, transporting audiences into undeniably distinctive yet compellingly familiar universes.

“Hummel creates an affecting world. The results are enormously sophisticated. The choreography quivers with subtle emotions like the writing of Virginia Woolf.” 
-Tobi Tobias, The Village Voice
