Core Work

Core Work is a 2+hour bi-weekly virtual gathering on Wednesdays starting at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT. Co-led by Jason Tseng, Sienna Gonzalez (on sabbatical), and Corinna Schulenburg, Core Work is a creative home for participants where we share and develop whatever we’re working on, including theatre. Core Work is also a lab for Flux to practice our Aesthetic of Liberation. 

Taking inspiration from the root meaning of coeur/cor as "heart," Core Work is heart work: heart, as in the work most dear to you; as in getting to the center of it; as in giving and receiving it with love. We also draw inspiration from the physics sense of core as a place where powerful reactions take place. We are a catalytic community for each other’s creative growth. And yeah, maybe there’s a little gym inspiration, like where you’re working your core and we’re spotting you, cheering “you got this!”

WHAT IS THE HISTORY?

Since 2006, Flux has been gathering people together to develop plays and community. The engine of the work for a decade was Flux Sundays, which meant weekly at a variety of locations to stage new plays. The last Flux Sunday was held in June 2017. In 2019, Flux launched a new gathering to develop plays and community called Core Work. The pandemic in 2020 ended Core Work…until now.
