(Press here to open a more conventional bio)
Corinne is commited to practising, sharing and facilitating multidisciplinary, corporeal art. All of the art they make and/or organises, derives from or relates intimately to the body; to her physical body, to other bodies, to otherwordly bodies and the contexts that these bodies manifest through.
Art is for everyone.
Corinne is utterly scared of distancing themself by using outdated methods such as irony, posing and narration. They are obsessed with poesis; unconventional, irresistible streams of thoughts and moves that can’t be rationalized. They return to the imaginary and the unconscious as material. They seek inspiration in inconvenient ways, by jumping fences of prisons, tasting multicolored apples without buying them, singing manuals of household machines and dating boys. They are a restless artist, but a committed colleague. They will do everything the artwork asks for.
Corinne thinks it’s time to get back to the craft and the undefinable, but this time by doing it right; by inviting everyone. Corinne loves dancing passionately and forever. They are sorry to all previous and coming lovers who will never be their primary partners; when dance calls – no matter the time nor location, Corinne will be there.
Corinne loves attending art schools, as art schools in scandinavia are the easiest places to be in the world. She holds a BA in Dance performance from Stockholm University of the arts and an MA in Acting from Helsinki university of the arts. She has studied multiple writing courses both in her BA and MA in addition to studying performing. She has worked with and for a various amount of curious people; see CV .
Besides being an artist Corinne is playing games, running and Muay Thai -boxing. They ongoingly practice Hatha Yoga, forced optimism, being a good friend, and staying sane in the midst of this apocalypse. All of these activities require a lot of effort in their slippery mind and Corinne is truly trying their best, even if they forgot to respond to your latest message.
