Overview

An interdisciplinary production by Dance, Music & Sound, and Theatre Production & Design undergraduate students at SFU's SCA.

The 2025 production of Ascension features nine works exploring the opposing forces of the natural & unnatural, simple & complex, and harmony & disharmony. The intricacies of human emotion and perception, from the depths of grief and melancholy to the dreamlike spaces between memory, illusion, and awakening are considered through the careful balance of movement, sound, and lighting.
