All things begin & end as stories

About
Through performing, teaching, consultancy & research, I work with story to hold spaces for people to connect.
Drawing from the richly symbolic worlds of comparative myth, folk tale & legend I tell stories for audiences of all ages that recentre marginalised voices & silenced histories in contemporary imaginations.
​
I work with story in a trauma-informed way to facilitate spoken communication & presentation skills development with clients & partners across corporate, education, & arts sectors.
To find out more about Corinne's work or to book her for an event:
'For a spellbinding hour, Corinne took us deep into the realm of story, rekindling our imaginations, stretching open our ears and touching our hearts. The tales she told were wild and tender, fierce and outlandish, and soulful without ever being sentimental. And they did what all good stories do -- return you to the world again, with all its big and strange marvels.'
