SFU Credits and Write-Up:

This multi-cam capture was recorded in April of 2022 and showcases the interdisciplinary collaboration between SCA Dance, Music + Sound, Theatre Production and Design, and Film.⁠⁠Ghost Forest was performed on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish people of the Musqueam, Sqamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. ⁠⁠

Taken from Being a Beast, by Charles Foster, Ghost Forest examines how we move through this place, traces of movement from the past, and the navigation of our changing landscapes. Built from a central score, the team of artists focused on walking, psychogeographical navigation, embodied archives, and vast landscapes.⁠⁠
