All things begin & end as stories

About
I work with story to hold spaces for connection.
​
Grounded in myth and folktale, my performances amplify marginalised voices and restore hidden narratives to contemporary imaginations.
​
Across corporate, education and arts sectors, I train professionals in embodied storytelling — coaching the discovery of voice and compelling presence in front of a live audience.
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.'
