10th Form Festival | Dreamscapes Screening and Artist Talk-Back
Dreammaking in Frame
Saturday November 15 | 5:00-6:30PM PST
Live Talkback facilitated by cát nguyên
Location: Online via Eventive
Doors: 4:45PM PST
Dreammaking in Frame is a collection of films that immerse us in reimagined realities — dreamlike states that do not conform to the ordinary or the recognizable. Activated by nonnormative movement(s), the body becomes a vessel that bends the line between truth and performance and unravels relational boundaries. Each of these films embark on an introspective journey, leaving us to contemplate our place within the everyday world we witness.
Screening Advisory: This screening features films with topics that may be challenging to some viewers. To learn more about our support offerings during screenings visit F-O-R-M FAQ.

A meditation on memory and the subconscious, Dreamscapes drifts between waking life and the dream world. Through layered visuals, textured sound, and quiet moments of performance, the film traces how personal histories and fleeting emotions shape the way we see ourselves and others.
Presented as part of the festival’s Unique Perspectives programme, Dreamscapes offers an intimate, visually arresting exploration of identity—inviting audiences to wander through inner landscapes where the boundaries of reality blur and every image carries a hidden story.

Pandora’s Briefcase
Created and Performed by Ghost Rooster Collective
Elizabeth Emond-Stevenson, Rachel Gray, Liz Winkelaar, and guest artist Rebecca Gray.
Pandora’s Briefcase follows the daily routine of the Ghost Rooster office workers and a mysterious briefcase. This work is an absurd, glamorous meditation on temptation, transformation, longing, and the absurdity of productivity culture.
Genesis of the Show:
Pandora’s Briefcase was born out of our desire to move from film into live performance, bringing our collective’s energy into the room with an audience. We were curious about what would happen if we combined singing, dance, and experimental theatre in a playful yet unsettling way. The office became our central metaphor: a place of structure, repetition, and absurdity, where routine can both hold us and trap us. We loved the fun of bringing ordinary objects to life by turning corporate props like desks, folders, and of course the briefcase, into instruments that disrupt expectations. The creative spark was the tension between order and chaos. Our greed and desire, what we forget in daily routine, and the sudden power of disruption to reveal something more human and wild underneath.
As a disability-led collective, disruption is central to our creative language. Disability art often unsettles familiar structures, asking audiences to question assumptions about bodies, productivity, and value. In Pandora’s Briefcase, the corporate world becomes a stage where those assumptions are most rigid. By inserting singing, dance, and absurd play into that environment, we used our lived experiences as disabled artists to turn routine into a site of possibility. The performance’s unruly energy reflects how disability arts challenge systems designed to contain or exclude us transforming the office into a space where difference, desire, and imagination take centre stage.
