MOVING AHEAD WITH AWARENESS
BEGINNING AUGUST 2022
CORNINGWORKS is LAUNCHING
A NEW SERIES . . .
Performed free of charge for audiences, this series is comprised of several short duration, portable, dancetheater works with a “pop-up sensibility.”
Taking CW performances to Pittsburgh’s sidewalks, fountains, museums, and other surprising site-specific venues we are knocking down doors of exclusion. Opening up the experience of CW's socially conscious dancetheater works to those who would not ordinarily attend an “in-theater” production. Expanding the path to mutual accessibility, while actively countering these traumatic times of isolation and helplessness.

CW's recently completed 2021 / 2022 season
moving forward with intention A HUGE SUCCESS!
thanks
to ALL our artists,
to ALL our patrons, to ALL our supporters ...
just a few of the many reviews received ...
Expertly crafted with sage performances ... CORNINGWORKS’ most unabashed political dance...a success and one whose imprint on audiences was surely felt."
— Steve Sucato ARTS AIR / The Other Shoe
"... moments of confusion, anxiety, and discomfort. And it’s brilliant..."
— Lisa Cunningham CITY PAPER / The Other Shoe
"Corning appears to be on a roll. . . I was fascinated once again by Corning’s daring imagination. Call it Beth in Wonderland…another tale of her own making."
— Jane Vranish DANCE CURRENTS / Happily Ever After
If you’re looking for a show that presents a Platonic singular Truth, this is not the show for you. This show is nuanced in hyper-textuality and layered in multiplicity. Not in a post-truth conspiratorial way but in the sense that each scene is so rhetorical and ripe for interpretation that I could see it each night and experience it differently...“Experience” is simply the best word I can use capture this performance. "
— Jessica Neu. ON STAGE / Happily Ever After
"... the gravity of this visceral and thought-provoking work was most effectively driven home ...the journey of understanding contained within the work is one that globally needs to be taken for the sake of all humanity." — Steve Sucato ARTS AIR / The Tipping Point
"Local theater groups have picked up successfully on the trend,(of site specific/immersive works) including Quantum Theater and Bricolage. But no one took the arduous path that Corning and her artistic comrades assembled...This was immersion like no other. Corning always had a vast dramatic vision, executed in minute details, making for a rich, thoughtful experience at all her performances."
