EDUCATION
Our workshops are designed to build students’ knowledge and capabilities in the world of theatre. Each workshop has been designed to align with the National Australian Arts Curriculum. Students will extend their skills in creative enquiry, communication, empathy, self-confidence, cooperation, leadership and negotiation, further supporting them to think and act artistically, thus developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills that can be applied in all areas of learning.
“Corinna’s expert knowledge and passion for what she does is palpable and the students really fed off of that!”
(Aldo Longbardi, Wilderness School, 2019)

(Thomas, HR, Adelaide 2022)
IMMERSIVE THEATRE
Since 2018, Corinna has been experimenting with ways to integrate immersive technology with live theatre...and she's got a TEDx talk all about it! Her mission is to enhance the audience experience to raise awareness and promote change on serious issues in our society. Her latest work, Bone Cage, deals with consent and domestic violence, and is available for bookings/touring.
Awesome show today! The additional scene at the start successfully helped highlight the public versus behind-closed-doors persona of the abuser. The use of Immersive effects and QR codes was great – it was fascinating to see the commonly submitted words and phrases. The reception by students and staff here was very positive!
