Ghost Dimensions | Memory Ritual Scattered Song

Ghost Dimensions is a collaboration exploring processes across performance disciplines and across both physical and virtual borders. The research combines scattered forms -texts, scores, live and recorded sounds, film and live performance.

Collectively Mele Broomes, Ashanti Harris, Tseliso Monaheng and Healer Oran explore the body as a repository of incorporated histories which are both internalised and externalised. Ghost Dimensions explores themes of Identities, imposing architecture and the environments we move in. Our bodies hold histories, harbour memory, inherit trauma. Our surroundings do too. As we move through life surrounded by collective memory; some see it, some choose not to. Experimenting with visibility, Ghost Dimensions asks; Who is seen? How are they seen? Through what lense? On what platform?

Ghost Dimensions has been presented at The Centre for The Less Good Idea (Johannesburg, South Africa) and across the UK at Dancebase (Edinburgh), Buzzcut Double Thrills at the Centre for Contemporary Art (Glasgow), Re:Generations at The Lowry (Manchester), Fest en Fest at Trinity Laban (London).
