In its ongoing work to document and preserve ancient dance around the globe, Core of Culture currently 

has several projects underway, at home and abroad.
 

Dances To Vanquish Demons

A new film by CoC associate director Nathan Whitmont exploring the meaning of cham, a 1,300-year-old Buddhist Dance with the power to transform demons into vehicles for liberation, thereby protecting the earth, and also investigating the crisis cham is facing.  
Currently in production at locations over 11,000 feet, in the kingdom of Ladakh, which is blanketed in winter snows.
