Cora, Inc. brings the work of choreographer and arts educator Shannon Hummel to the widest possible audience with particular focus on communities that lack performing arts experiences due to limited financial resources or other isolating factors. Cora believes that establishing trust and common ground between diverse people allows all those involved in a creative endeavor – artists, students, audiences and community members – to learn from one another openly and connect more deeply.
Through the contemporary dance company, Shannon Hummel/ Cora Dance, and its educational arm, Cora School for Dance, Cora brings accessible yet sophisticated programs and performances to communities across the country.
The Cora Studio is located in the Red Hook Studio Building in Red Hook Brooklyn. Click HERE for a map and directions.
