BIOGRAPHY
Joss Carter is a multi disiplinary and multi dimentional British creature actor, avant guard movement and performance artist, contemporary dancer, choreographer, director, and producer working across stage, immersive theatre, film, television, and motion and performance capture.
Born and raised across wild landscapes of South Shropshire, Worcestershire, and the West Midlands Joss graduated with a BPA (Hons) degree at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in 2010. His world class training in contemporary, classical, and techniques, somatic practice, choreography, and experimental/conceptual movement studies forged the foundation of his uncompromising, visceral physical language.
For over two decades, Carter has carved himself a distinct path within the creative industries. Recognised and respected for raw physicality, psychological intensity, and visceral performance versatility Joss' interrogations of flesh, bone, heart and soul are integral to his personal evoluotion, professional development and unique artistic identity.
Whether embodying beasts, demons, gods, or fractured human forms, Joss' mind, body and soul is possessed by the fantasies, shadows, and nightmares and insanities which manifest deep within his own imagination to transform his surreal dreams into a disturbing, horrifying, incredibly beautiful reality.
