Barry Kerollis' Core-ography Project

[Helene]

Former Houston Ballet and Pacific Northwest Ballet dancer-choreographer turned free-lance dancer-choreographer Barry Kerollis has launched a project called "Core-ography" and is in the midst of a funding campaign through RocketHub and New York Live Arts, which means that any contributions made payable to New York Live Arts count as a (501) © (3) contribution for tax purposes, unlike Kickstarter, GoFundMe, etc.

Kerollis will interview and then choreograph for each participant dancer focusing on specific questions about character-building challenges the dancers have faced. "I'll travel the globe to tell dancer's defining stories and promote the idea that it can be positive to share life's most revelatory moments. "
