Amber Jarman-Crainey has announced her latest immersive theatre production, BOUND, will be premiering on the 24th August 2024 at Bargehouse on South Bank. BOUND encourages people to process, explore, and reflect upon their grief through a multi-sensory experience.

B O U N D gives you the opportunity to step into the heart of the story and discover your own pathway through the production, whilst immersing yourself in nine stories developed from real examples of grief and loss shared through movement, live music, theatre and art.
Amber started to create BOUND as an outlet for her own grief after losing her older brother in 2020. Her interest in movement and performance has always focused on human behaviour and memory, which is reflected in the curation of BOUND through the set, storylines and score. She's also been working with a small team of specialists to build the work, including industry-leading performers, grief specialists, doctors, charities and artists.

The aim is to create a space where the audience has the power to lead their own journey and view what they feel interested in or connected to. The show is spread over five floors of Bargehouse, which will be home to nine storylines told by eight physical theatre performers.
The cast for BOUND includes Lucija Bozicevic, Rosalia Panepinto, Vinicius Salles, Dominic Coffey, Adrienne Ming, Angela Smith, Lee Clayden, and Julian Nichols.

Each story has been developed from either the performer's experience or an interest in the concept. Movement has been inspired by physical and emotional reactions to grief, with the key storylines found in BOUND being Living Grief, Shelter, Gaslight, Rooted Love, Therapy, Mourning Meadow, Time, and Subconscious Mind.
Each room within Bargehouse has been designed to give the audience the chance to engage with a tactile space. As the audience ventures through the building, they will find, for example, a wild meadow, twisted willow structures, draping, and installations.
Filling the space will be an original score created by composer and musician Ann Warren. Amber and Ann have worked together on previous projects, including the award-winning short film 'Clamber.' The audience will move in and out of the sound until reaching the top floor, where the audience will be immersed in cello music played live by Madeline Napier.
