Would you like to inspire a new dance production?

Would you like to know how a dance work is created?

Did you know that your body has its own memory?

It remembers what your mind forgets. Comfort, fear, joy and excitement - all stowed in your muscles and bones, ready to resurface 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 our feelings and experiences will be revealed in our/Jones the Dance’s new immersive and playfully interactive production, I Remember Myself. At Gorff that will be coming to Oriel Davies on 01.05.26 at 19:00

Through the week leading up to each performance, Jones the Dance would like to meet you in a fun and creative workshop, where you get to discover some of your memories and experiences that you might have forgotten. The workshop will include moving, discussion, and mindful moving practices, all in a safe space. With your permission, the stories, thoughts, and ideas discovered in the workshop will be woven in with the memories of the dancers blurring the boundaries as they are performed in the gallery at the end of the week.
