Caitlin Corbett, artistic director of Caitlin Corbett Dance Company, has been presenting work in the Boston area since 1984. Her early involvement with the leading voices of New York's avant-garde helped shape an aesthetic that juxtaposes the sublime beauty of everyday movement with the innovation of modern dance. Her repertoire ranges from work with trained dancers: Rain (2002) a lush and rigorous octet; to work which includes untrained performers: Joycies Pie (1992), in which a pedestrian chorus line of skippers provide counterpoint to the movements of the formally trained dancers. "Her movement vocabulary - which is lush and spare at once - is so distinctive that is has the kinesthetic effect of a rich flavor lingering on your tongue Corbett's work not only addresses intellectual questions but also has humor and heart." Thea Singer, Boston Globe
