Maker.
Mover.
Improvisor.
spontaneous creation
I am a firm believer that Improvisation is every day, it is the way of life. We move, think, and do improvisationally. This is the process in which I use to devise performances in both solo and ensemble works.

FREAKATONI WITCHY WEEKENDS
The Improvisation Summer course Amsterdam solidified Corinne's devotion towards improvisation. She learned the techniques of real-time performance and instant composition.
The teachings of Katie Duck have greatly inspired Corinne's own work.
Trained in Modern dance; including counter-balance and release technique, Limón technique, and Graham. Exposure to the teachings of some traditional African Diaspora dance and Afro-Cuban techniques.
2021- Corinne founded her first Improvisation movement class.
With an emphasis on play and individual choices, participants were asked to explore new forms of movement. Sitting, walking, and poses eventually lead to patterns of dance. Corinne’s class is heavily inspired by the community in the room. Each participant is an influence to another and together they create the performance. Corinne uses improvisational scores and games to lead her instruction. Her space will always be a safe and sound experimental playground!
