Events

• Audition and perform with Norse C.O.R.E. Norse C.O.R.E. is an opportunity for students of all backgrounds to come together and create community through an hour and half long performance. In short scenes, we speak on issues like sexual violence, substance abuse, racial profiling, microagressions, mental illness, and so much more. Our goal is to create art, community, and conversation for our first years. It would be a week-long commitment for students the week before school starts, with two performances for first-years during their orientation activities. We believe the event is an extremely important way to educate young students. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this google form to set up an interview.
