Testimonials
New times need new stories, and they especially need new stories of the old stories. This is part of what makes it so easy to sink into the spell of The Remembers. The harder part - which is playfully, generously, ceremonially left up to you - is how to emerge from its garden of thresholds.
-Shane Boris
Academy Award Winning Producer
The Remembers blew me away with their ability to weave a panoramic sensory experience through music and percussion, creating a whole world for their stories to come to life.
The blended vocals of Alex and Violet take you through prayers and songs that travel through time bridging the past and present.
John’s percussive, embodied storytelling takes you on an emotive and joyful journey. Using his percussion to create profound temporal shifts, he somehow speeds up, slows down, and travels through time.
Maybe most of all, I was struck by the relevance of these stories in our modern time. We need our human history told through stories, by human beings, to each other. It’s how we navigate the digital world with clarity and connection.

"The Rememberers took me back to ancient storytelling, a storytelling for which my dancing bones and my singing genes ache. The combination of song, instrument, and drama transformed me into pure audience, a pure listener, a receiver of tales. The Remembers remembered me to a time when stories took days, near the water, near the fire, near the family, an experience that I will remember, and re-remember."

“The Rememberers workshop provided a depth of reflection for the storytelling that captivated and inspired the participants. Alex Harvey created an environment in which the weighty responsibility of service to past cultures matched a spirit of questioning and discovery. Audiences were engaged in the deepest consideration of their art, matching the theoretical and mystic to the practical craft of storytelling. Alex skillfully provided a framework through which we could explore, expand, and newly value our own stories. The Rememberers set a high bar, but provided the most loving of ladders so that any can ascend.”

"We are two weeks out from the Rememberers’s performance of The Lindworm and I am still receiving correspondences from audiences members expressing the deep meaning and profound effect the work had upon them. The Rememberers bring a mastery of their innovative and multidisciplinary form of storytelling that is difficult to categorize and defies disciplinary siloing. They are artists in atmosphere, creating for their audiences an immersive experience where each moment is packed with meaning. Surpassing the esoteric nature of academic arts, the open-hearted approach to their work creates an accessibility and ease for all those listening. They provide that rare experience that trades in wonder and imagination, one in which audiences of any age are transported."

“Watching ‘The ReMemberers’ perform the old Scandinavian folk tale ‘The Lindworm’ reminded me of the importance of the oral tradition in the evolution of consciousness. Something stirs deep inside us as we listen to beautifully performed music, storytelling and poetry. Be prepared to be mesmerized!”

After a night of big dreams with ancient, haunting music playing in my head…dreams of times in ancient castles with humans struggling with all our monsters and wants and desires I hesitate to put into words yet (or maybe ever) what I felt and experienced during the ReMemberers. I had a sense that my elders were visiting. The ReMemberers’ music and storytelling are bringing them forth, stirring them…hearing our call. I welcome them, they have much to tell us, nurture us, advise us…

“The Lindworm stuck with me - I loved how they performed music in the background and how they made all those noises for the animals! It all made me feel so connected with the story. I loved it!”
