ABOUT
emBODY project is an emerging theatre company and training hub grounded in the emBODY Performance Method. We create embodied storytelling and training that center the pillars of freedom, presence, and authenticity, using radical honesty and a
collaborative process to make work that moves, connects, and liberates.
The emBODY Ensemble is our core performance company, creating bold reimaginings of existing scripts and new work through the emBODY Performance Method. Grounded in embodied storytelling and the pillars of freedom, presence, and authenticity, the ensemble offers audiences theatre that is alive in the body, rigorously collaborative, and built to move, connect, and liberate.​​
The emBODY Lab is the experimental engine of emBODY project, where the emBODY Performance Method fuels devising, new work development, and artistic research. Centering process over product and embodiment over convention, the Lab gives artists space to risk, play, and shape raw ideas into the bold, collaborative performances that eventually reach the stage.
The emBODY Studio is our training hub, where the emBODY Performance Method is taught through classes and workshops in embodied performance and physical theatre. Grounded in body culture and the pillars of freedom, presence, and authenticity, the Studio helps artists build skill, awareness, and agency they can carry into rehearsal rooms, classrooms, and everyday life.
Our Story
​
Theatre is a living, breathing act of presence.
emBODY project grew from a question that would not let us go:
What if we built theatre from the body’s truth first?
From the histories it carries, the cultures it moves through, the stories it has never been allowed to tell.
Born from the emBODY Performance Method, created by Corinne M. Mason,
our work treats the body as a site of knowing.
Not just something that performs, but something that remembers, resists, and reimagines.
We imagined a space where stories are not only told, but felt.
Where the body becomes a vessel for truth, and performance is a shared act of liberation.
Not just a venue, but a home where artists and audiences meet in authenticity, vulnerability, and joy.
A gathering ground for diverse voices, art forms, and cultural expressions,
where collaboration sparks bold, embodied narratives that reflect and reshape our world.
Here, we move with intention.
We listen with our whole selves.
We practice freedom by loosening the scripts that confine our bodies.
We cultivate presence by returning, again and again, to breath, sensation, and each other.
We pursue authenticity by honoring the lived experiences that make each story distinct.
Because theatre is more than what happens on stage.
It is the freedom to be seen,
the courage to connect,
and the radical act of showing up in true presence, in our bodies, together,
with as much authenticity as we can carry into the room
