Core Dance welcomes Georgians to enjoy a free artist's reception and artist talk for REEL Art Gesture 2, which features the work of Michael Eckblad, on November 18th at 8pm. His film will continue to stream nightly on our studio windows at 133 Sycamore Street, 30030, on the Decatur Square through January 5, 2023. Eckblad shares the following about his film, Liberation Energy:
"In 2015 I began producing a body of work under the project name HOne, a reference to the hydrogen’s atomic structure. The lightest element in the periodic table, hydrogen simultaneously embodies humanity's risk and hope as we evolve our energy footprint away from fossil fuels and towards sources that are sustainable and operate in harmony with the natural world. This latest incarnation, Liberation Energy, brings the visual experience of hydrogen-as-fuel in close contact with bodies and life forces. In demystifying that physical reality, we are invited to place of curiosity as we collectively pursue a brighter future."

REEL Art is a platform for original film installations - a contemporary art form that combines video technology with installation art - making use of the storefront windows of Core Dance’s studio building. Coupled with all aspects of the surrounding environment of the Decatur Square, passersby/the audience are affected by this ingenious visual experience. As an installation, this work is unique in its use and design for the Core Dance Studio windows.
For the 2022-23 REEL Art Series, Valerie Massadian (France), Michael Eckblad (USA), Lori Teague (USA), Amador Artiga (Czech Republic/Spain) and Loren McFalls (USA) will premiere video installation works commissioned by Core Dance and inspired by the theme, Gestures.

In Support of Core Dance
For four decades, Core Dance has supported innovation, collaboration, artistic risk-taking and sustainable art-making in dance. An award-winning contemporary dance organization with global reach, Core Dance creates, performs, and produces compelling original dance that ignites the creative spirit and actively encourages participation and conversation with the community. In 1980, Core Dance was co-founded in Houston, Texas by dancer and choreographer Sue Schroeder and her sister, Kathy Russell. Five years later, the organization added Atlanta, Georgia as a second home base, creating a platform for dance that is relevant in both cities and around the globe. Core Dance uses dance to educate, question and illuminate, and is internationally recognized for its artistically driven research practices, cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary collaborations, the humanity of the individual Dance Artists, and its rigorous physicality.
