Ben Duke, Orlando Gough

This new production by award-winning choreographer Ben Duke and composer Orlando Gough has grown from a three year creative intervention in London’s stroke community by Rosetta Life – an innovative arts-in-health charity committed
to enabling voice and agency for the frail and disabled. A daring movement and song project performed by an ensemble of stroke survivors Stroke Odysseys explores intertwined journeys of recovery from stroke and asks how we ever recover from brain injury or how we remember who we are.

The performance is supported by a panel discussion with dancers, musicians, neurologists and neuroscientists and explores what impact the act of storytelling through dance and song may have on the brain’s ability to heal itself.
