The exploration

of a very specific aesthetic led Lorraine Chapman to found Lorraine Chapman, The Company, Inc. (LCTC) in 2002 as a logical next step to her already impressive achievements as an independent choreographer. Chapman's understanding of the art form, as well as a penetrating study of life and of people, has always been a powerful source of inspiration in her work. She embraces and executes musicality with a theatrical approach, and explores the versatility of the speed in which one can express themselves through movement. There is an inner fear, an inner joy, an inner passion, an inner ambivalence, and an inner contradictory experience that drives the outer physicality of her work. Her choreographic vocabulary possesses a strong, personal signature which challenges dancers and audiences both kinetically and emotionally. Through her dynamic movement and compelling theatricality she is able to blend together even the most incongruous ingredients.

LCTC has developed a solid reputation in New England where it performs regularly, and is one of Boston's leading modern dance companies. LCTC premiered in 2002 at the Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA and was produced five times in its first six years by Boston's leading presenter of dance, World Music/CRASHarts. LCTC has also been presented by the Festival of Arts & Ideas in New Haven, CT, Soaking WET in NYC, the Stonington Opera House in Maine, Jacob's Pillow Dance Inside/Out, the Yes, Virginia – Dance Festival in Richmond, the Flynn Center Performing Arts in Vermont, and most recently by the Massachusetts Dance Festival, the Somerville artBEAT dance festival, and the Boston Center for the Arts.

Lorraine Chapman was one of Dance Magazine's 25 To Watch 2008.
