Concept and Choreography by D. Patton White
In collaboration with Core Dance

Memorial. Memory. Relationship.
These are the themes and ideas explored in the new work by choreographer and conceptual artist D. Patton White. Following the unexpected and untimely death of his brother Claiborne, White began the creative process for ‘As The Shadows Grow Longer’ with several sources of inspiration: questioning the etymology of the term ‘memorial’; a recommended musical composition (the third movement of Ralph Vaugh Williams’ Symphony Number 5 in D Major) and the creative talents of the dance artists of Core Dance.

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.
