Kórinna Latèlis is a classically trained musician, a performer and researcher.
Since 2006, she has focused on Street Performance and Public Art. Her artistic language is multi-disciplinary. Her work incorporates elements of performing and visual arts, street arts and performance art. Interactivity and site-specificity are key factors in her artistic endeavour.
In 2011 she founded AérEchO (from "air" and "echo"), a platform that uses performing arts and other artistic genres, as well as advanced technology, to explore how people relate to time and space, especially within the public realm.
She holds a PhD in History and Music Anthropology, in the frame of which she dealt with street performance and performers during the Byzantine era. Further research interests include tradition (myths, legends, customs and rituals) as a source for both artistic creation and artistic research, and the use of interactive site-specific public performance as a means of studying the correlation among public space, public life and public art and of gaining a deeper insight into contemporary society.
Kórinna has presented her work in various festivals, in Greece and in Europe (Italy, Poland, Bulgaria). She received the Individual Street-Performance Award for her performance "Dryas" at the 4th Athens International Street Festival-Istfest (2012).
She currently collaborates as a researcher with the Ethnomusicology and Cultural Anthropology Laboratory (EthnoLab), at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. She has been a collaborator of CMRC-KSYME (Contemporary Music Research Centre –Athens, Greece) since 2005.
