As a choreographer, she finds her inspiration from music, visual art, the natural world, literature, psychology, and sociology.

Her work appears at the intersection of abstraction and vulnerability and is an exploration of duality. It is a reconciling of opposing forces in an effort to find balance and resiliency. She is a shifter of shapes. She strives to express In addition to presenting her own work, Corinne also performs and collaborates with Ayako Kato/Art Union Humanscape and RE|dance group, both based in Chicago.

HELEN OBSERVES:
the melodies and rhythms of music and of one’s own body, to understand the importance of gesture, to feel the ground and the air, to range from cantilevered to centered, to find comfort and stillness, to take risks. Her choreography aims to connect with the inherent intellect of the body, to find the freedom, strength, and stamina to increase the possible range of physical response—to have the body meet the power of the imagination. She experiences dance as a dialogue or conversation, a chance for
connection—between the movement and music, between the present and memory, between the performers, and with the audience. The Chicago Tribune praised her as having “sensitivity and keen sense of weight and energy shifting through the body creating an infectious dynamic”. Her choreographic work has been called “silky-smooth, delicate and [a] detail oriented ride” and “quietly magnificent”.
