Ghost Dimensions | Project X (50mins)
www.projectxplatform.com
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?
Presented: The Centre for The Less Good Idea (Johannesburg, South Africa), 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).

“★★★★ Ghost Dimensions becomes a world to be curious about: what memories are unfolding in front of you? How do we connect within this brutalist world? ”
“★★★★ Tseliso Monaheng’s bright visuals do an amazing job of illuminating a gorgeous study of shapes and people hiding while also trying to be seen.”
