Introducing our second artist on the night @amattsu with ‘Memory of The Skin’
Memory of The Skin is an introspective solo dance piece that journeys through the last 15 years of living in Ireland from the perspective of a tattooed immigrant, touching upon themes of displacement, loneliness and a search for the meaning of family. This work-in-progress hopes to explore tattooing as communication of our values, the body as a storage of memories and the ritual of purification through pain. The movement language consists of Krump in a contemporary context.

Celebrate #WorldTheatreDay by signing up to participate in BROADREACH: The Choreography Project #23 - Led by Mateusz Szczerek
A creative and performance opportunity for adults to work with choreographer Mateusz Szczerek from April-June 2026.
“For this project we will create an introspective piece based on exploration of skin - particularly the memories it holds and how that memory impacts our lives. Through guided improvisation, creative tasks, and collaborative choreographic processes, we will explore themes of self-care, self-doubt, and self-awareness. Together we will consider how the experiences that shape us over time live within our bodies, and how movement can illuminate both the beautiful and the challenging aspects of growing into our own skin.” - Matt Szczerek
The project will culminate with the informal performance in Dublin on the 7th of June 2026.
Don’t miss your chance to participate! Book your spot by emailing Inna Mazurenko, Project Coordinator at [email protected]
