"Corbino's incredible creations touch something beyond the simply daffy"

Greg Corbino is a New York based designer specializing in puppetry, large-scale installation and performance in public space. His designs have been called “gorgeously baroque” by The New Yorker and “crafty and audacious” by The New York Times. His work has been presented in New York and nationally at Soho Rep (It’s That Time of the Month, Give Me Carmelita Tropicana), The Brooklyn Academy of Music (Cumulus Frenzy), Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival (As You Like It), The High Line, The Architecture League of New York, The Queens Museum, The Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, HEREarts, Guild Hall, Art Yard, and the Smithsonian Institution. Internationally, his work has been presented at QueerLab (Rome), Duncan Dance Research Center (Athens, Greece) Togo Village Art Museum (Togo, Taiwan), Other Music Academy (Weimar, Germany), and Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes (Charleville-Mézières, France). His ongoing public space puppet performance, MURMURATIONS, draws attention to the environmental impact of plastics with giant puppets crafted of plastic trash collected from New York shorelines and has been supported by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Riverkeeper, Greenpeace USA and a 2025 Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. Collaborators have included Peter Schumann and The Bread and Puppet Theater (2007-present), Reverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir, Branden Jacobs Jenkins, Alina Troyano, Eric Ting, Jennifer Miller, Xaviera Simmons, Charlotte Brathwaite, Sanford Biggers, Sarah Holdren, Cecilia Vicuña and Becca Blackwell. He has a B.A. in Theater Studies from Emerson College and lives and works in Brooklyn where he dreams of designing a queer carousel.
