(2004)

Enclave is a dance theatre film exploring the use of digital technologies and is a collaboration between a dancer/choreographer and visual/digital artist.

The title 'Enclave' was chosen as a working theme and metaphor to consider the need to defend or preserve personal, social and cultural spaces and identities, the preservation of cultural identity, uniqueness of the individual, continuity within the context of tradition and the relationship between people and place. An awareness of the powers and persuasions belonging to a dominant culture and its desire for [linguistic, economic, social] standardisation and the prescriptive were the major thematic forces driving the work.

'Enclave' had its origins in ideas of the nature of movement in a restricted space and explores ways of representing the communication of cultural knowledge through the charged interface of the performance space, and through the vehicle of a collective cultural subconscious.
