Together, they hold space for embodied storytelling that is rigorous, collaborative, and deeply human.
emBODY Staff
Corinne M Mason, emBODY Method Founder & Artistic Director
(She/Her/Hers) Corinne M. Mason is the Founder and Artistic Director of emBODY Project Theatre, a professional director, choreographer, and teaching artist building a physical theatre company around her own original framework, the emBODY Performance Method. She holds an MFA in Applied Theatre from Emerson College, a BFA from The New School, and a Certificate in Musical Theatre from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.
Corinne has directed, choreographed, and taught with companies across the region, including Lyric Stage Company, Stonehill College, Wellesley Summer Theatre, The Company Theatre, MMAS, Boston Circus Guild, Deborah Mason Performing Arts Center, and North Cambridge Family Opera. She currently serves as Theatre Faculty at Massasoit Community College.
Her work lives at the intersection of new play development and collaborative creation. Corinne builds rooms where the body leads the process, where devised work surfaces what scripted work can't reach, and where the resulting theatre asks something real of the people making it and the people watching it. Her recent original, ensemble-built productions laid the groundwork for the practice-as-research methodology emBODY runs on today.
John Crampton, Studio Instructor, Tap & Jazz
Founding member of the emBODY Method, John graduated SUNY Fredonia in 2010 with a double major in Acting and Dance, then taught ballroom and social dance at Arthur Murray Studios in Seattle before performing locally with modern dance company Sokolow Now!.
