On April 12-15, 2023 at the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts (in the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre), Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw and Vancouver-based choreographer Vanessa Goodman have collaborated on this atmospheric sound-and-dance installation entrancing meditation on the cyclical nature of embodied memory.


Surrounded by vintage lamps, plants, retro record and cassette players, and 400 feet of orange cables, "Graveyards and Gardens" begins with a Goodman's cacophony of sounds, merging with Goodman’s supple and hypnotic movement. Both song, sound, and dance meet at one point in the ultimate performance. 


As well, local dance icon Vanessa Goodman has composed and/or produced music for symphonies, theatre, ballets, films, and television including the Showtime hit series,"Yellowjackets," and films such as Beyonce’s "Homecoming". "
