"Creature performer, stunt artist, contemporary dancer and all-round physical chameleon, Joss Carter has moved and morphed his way through everything...His approach to horror isn’t just about jump scares or shock factor—it’s about transformation. Visceral, disturbing, boundary-pushing transformation."

A specialist in the live action, creation, direction, and production of movement and performance, UK artist Joss Carter has dedicated over 20 years to pushing the boundaries of body, identity, and transformation on stage and screen.
His work spans film, theatre, contemporary dance, performance art, and experimental live projects — a body of practice defined by visceral imagination, uncompromising intensity, and the ability to summon both the grotesque and the sublime through performance.
Whether embodying creatures in film, directing avant-garde performance rituals, or mentoring the next generation of performers, Joss’s practice is rooted in transformation, invention, and the fearless exploration of the human shadow.

JOSS CARTER'S HORROR FAVOURITES
"So what inspired such a dark and kinetic career path? For Love Horror, Carter dives deep into the murky depths of his psyche to share the films that have most influenced him—not just as a performer, but as an artist of body and spirit. From cursed VHS tapes to black metal-laced dreamscapes and the cinematic equivalent of a decaying myth, his selections are as unnerving, poetic, and unflinchingly intense as his performances."

"From the dark, emerges: Rumpelstiltskin.
Of course, the monster is only as good as its performance, and in Joss Carter, Rumpel is a delightfully menacing character.
With a dose of Gollum, Carter enthusiastically plays his imp as a cockney Pennywise, an insidiously playful performance, physically small, but cunning and deceitful, Carter eats up the dialogue and chews his way through every scene.
In this character, Andy Edwards may have his own franchise icon, in the same vein as the Wishmaster series".
"Joss is one of the most talented movement specialists I am yet to work with.
His body possesses a vast range of movement, he’s a brilliant actor, and he has an ability to absorb direction to a depth that takes a role to whole other level."

YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE tears open the skin of reality to let the horrors underneath breathe. It blends performance, ritual, immersive sound, and creature embodiment into experiences that don’t just haunt the audience — they possess them.
This is where the line between watcher and victim blurs. Where dreams rot, bodies distort, and every trembling breath becomes part of the ritual. Each piece is an invocation, summoning fears too personal to name, then forcing you to face them in their rawest form.
YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE also stands as a living resource for productions, events, and creators who want to plunge deeper. It draws on Joss’s vast network of creature performers, movement artists, SFX and prosthetic collaborators, and immersive specialists — all dedicated to making nightmares real.
More than a project, this is a portal. A ritual. A promise: step inside, and what you fear most will find you. Not on the screen. Not on the stage. But in the dark behind your eyes.
“Joss creates genuine fear when he embodies a character.
He makes nightmares, and we LOVED seeing his terrifying take on the Devil"

A summoning ground for the creatures inside you.
A ritual to strip the skin, break the mask, and let the unknown take form.
Led by Joss Carter, EXORCISM carves out a space where instinct devours fear. Where bodies twist, decay, transform, and become. It is not polite. It is not safe. It is the raw work of confronting what haunts you — and making it live.
This is also where futures are forged. Each session, each immersion, gives you the tools to step into the industry as a creature performer: high-level training, real footage, photographs, materials to build the portfolio and CV that opens doors to film, TV, stage, and motion capture.
EXORCISM serves the wider world too. Producers, casting directors, and creative teams come here to find the specialist performers, movement directors, SFX and prosthetics artists, and practical FX allies who bring monstrous visions to life.
This is more than a workshop. It is an invocation. A passage. A chance to let the thing beneath your ribs rise up, tear through, and show you who you really are.
