Did you know that your body has its own memory?

It remembers what our mind forgets. Comfort, fear, joy and excitement - all stowed in your muscles and bones, ready to surface through your senses. Imagine the shivers that run down your spine when a bell rings, and you’re jolted back to your first day at school. Or the first chords of a particular song, conjuring up the flutterings of your first love once again.

 The wonder of our bodies as archives of feeling and experience is revealed in our new immersive and playfully interactive production, I Remember Myself. At Gorff.

With four dancers, Anna Seymour, Dan Ozeri, Eddie Ladd and Gwyn Emberton, we transform each gallery into a time capsule of moving memories, creating a unique experience where hidden histories are unlocked by their bodies, and shared through movement and stories told in Welsh, English and British Sign Language. 

I Remember Myself. At Gorff isn’t just a performance about memories, but a joining of them in a shared experience. 

Through the week leading up to each performance, we will spend time meeting local people through workshops, discovering stories, memories and experiences together. These are woven in with the memories of the dancers, blurring the boundaries that exist between us.

During the performance, audiences are invited to playfully influence what’s revealed, shared and danced, or they can simply sit back and be immersed in the unique version of the work, where the room is filled by an intimate shared journey of hope, hurt, love and loss. 

Join us to be transported to a world of beautifully moving stories set to a transportive soundscape and who knows perhaps you’ll unearth some of your own long forgotten gems in the process. 

Everyone is welcome.
