or Internship!

emBODY Ensemble The emBODY Ensemble is our core performance company, where the emBODY Performance Method meets the stage. We welcome performers who are curious about body culture, hungry for collaboration, and ready to work from the pillars of freedom, presence, and authenticity. Auditions may include movement, text, and ensemble-based exploration rather than traditional cold reads. No single “type” of body, training, or background is required. When we post audition calls, you will find clear access information, what to prepare, and how we hold the room with care.

emBODY Lab The emBODY Lab is our experimental space for research, risk, and raw material. Labs are where new ideas, forms, and stories live first in the body, long before they reach a full production. Joining a Lab might mean devising new work in an ensemble, testing an idea for a script, or exploring body culture and identity through structured experimentation. Some labs are open enrollment, others are by application or invitation, depending on the project’s needs. If you are interested in process, inquiry, and embodied questions more than polish, the Lab is where you belong.

Work With emBODY emBODY project is more than what happens on stage. Our work relies on producers, teaching artists, administrators, technicians, designers, and organizers who believe in embodied storytelling and the values of freedom, presence, and authenticity. We periodically offer paid positions and internships in areas such as production, education, community engagement, dramaturgy, and administration. Opportunities will be listed here with clear roles, expectations, and application steps. If you want to help build a company where bodies, stories, and communities are taken seriously, we invite you to watch this space and reach out when a role resonates.

AUDITION FORM

Details

The production draws from public domain versions of Goethe’s Faust and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus to explore what it means to trade away power, safety, or future for knowledge, status, pleasure, or survival. The work combines classical text, ensemble devising, physical storytelling, and a justice-oriented lens.

Performers and movers interested in ensemble-driven creation, reimagining classical text, and themes of power, desire, debt, coercion, and redemption. All genders, body types, identities, and levels of experience are welcome. No single “type” for any of the characters; roles may be shared or split across multiple performers. No formal dance training is required, but comfort with movement and openness to physical exploration are important.

AUDITION FORM

READ THE RESEARCH

Preparation and Requirements

Prepare a 1–2 minute monologue in the style of the piece.

This may be heightened or classical text (such as Shakespeare, Marlowe, Greek tragedy) or contemporary text with high emotional or ethical stakes.

Self-written material is welcome. Text does not need to be from Faust.

All auditioners will also participate in a short group movement workshop, including grounding, spatial, and ensemble exercises. Consent-forward options and opt-outs will be available throughout.

Rehearsals run late January through early May 2026, approximately 2–3 times per week, increasing closer to performance. Rehearsals will take place at or near 95 Washington Street in Canton, MA (with potential partnership space at Canton Community Theatre). Performances are planned for late April or early May 2026.

The production engages themes of ambition, desire, coercion, consent, judgment, debt, labor, and systems of power. The rehearsal process will be consent-forward and trauma-aware, with clear boundaries, ongoing check-ins, and respect for performers’ lived experiences.

Horror Lab: Bodies, Fear, & Performance (CLOSED)

Applications for the 2026 Horror Lab are now closed.
Our next Lab project will be announced in June 2026.

The Horror Lab: Bodies, Fear, and Performance is a practice-as-research project created through the emBODY Performance Method. Lab Artists investigate what happens when the horror genre is built in bodies and space rather than relying on sound cues, special effects, or jump scares.

Project timeline (2026 Horror Lab)

Location: 95 Washington Street, Canton, MA 02021
Rehearsals: January 21 – April 15, 2026 · Wednesdays · 6:00–10:00 PM
Tech rehearsals: April 18 – April 23, 2026 · 6:00–10:00 PM
Performances: April 24 & 25, 2026 · 8:00 PM

If you’re curious about what an emBODY Lab looks and feels like, we encourage you to see The Horror Lab performances and experience the work in the room. Future Lab calls will follow a similar rehearsal structure and practice-as-research approach.

Lab applications are currently closed. The Lab interest form will reopen when the next project is announced in June 2026.

Details

From January through April 2026, an ensemble of artists will train and devise together to explore how fear, dread, and suspense move through breath, posture, proximity, and story. The process treats rehearsal as research, asking how theatre can reclaim horror as a rigorous, ethical, and socially conscious genre. The Lab will lead to a public sharing of an original devised horror performance in April 2026.

Lab Artists can expect to meet for approximately 6 hours each week for training, devising, and rehearsal; work with embodied scores that focus on breath, space, proximity, tension, and release; build short studies and sequences that explore horror through bodies, images, and ensembles rather than only narrative plot; and contribute to the creation of a new devised horror piece to be shared with an audience in April 2026. Consistent participation across the Lab period is expected so the ensemble can build trust, shared language, and a coherent piece.

Preparation and Requirements

We are seeking performers, movers, theatre-makers, and devisers who are interested in ensemble-driven creation and physical storytelling; drawn to horror and curious to interrogate it rather than simply reproduce its tropes; and open to exploring questions of fear, power, identity, and representation through embodied work. All genders, body types, and levels of experience are welcome. No formal dance or stunt training is required, but comfort with movement, collaboration, and critical conversation is important

The Horror Lab will be consent-forward and trauma-aware, with opt-out options and ongoing check-ins. The work will focus on systemic and collective horror (structures, histories, patterns) rather than mining individual trauma for material. Access needs, including pacing, sensory load, and content boundaries, will be discussed and co-created with the ensemble. Horror does not mean harm; the goal is to stage fear and pressure while maintaining the safety and agency of the people in the room.
