Caitlin Corbett has been presenting work in the Boston area s
ince 1984. Influenced by New York’s Judson Theatre
choreographers and their predecessors, Corbett strongly
believes in heralding the everyday in her work. She
makes use of ordinary, pedestrian movement and chance.
Juxtaposing the common recurring movement with an explosive
physicality, her idiosyncratic choreography is often performed
by both dancers and nondancers. She has choreographed for
dancers, construction workers, cars, and even bicycles.
Caitlin Corbett holds an MFA from Massachusetts College of
Art and a BA from Bennington College. Her work has been
shown in Boston, Los Angeles, and was presented at the
Kitchen and Movement Research in New York City. In 1994
she received a Boston Moves commission from Dance Umbrella
and was awarded a 1995 New Forms grant by the New England
Foundation for the Arts. In 2002 and 2003 she received
grants from Cambridge Arts Council. Her Company is listed
on the Performing and Touring Roster of Massachusetts
Cultural Council. Caitlin is currently Associate Professor
at Salem State College.
