Point Street
Point Street is a short dance film that takes place within a Fremantle car park. The film explores the architecture of the building and highlights it's beautiful soft pastel exterior. The dancers flit in and out of frame like birds against a blue cloudy sky.

Ashleigh is passionate about developing a methodology for creating site-specific works and furthering her artistic practice of dancing on the beach.
The inspiration of Point Street came about over time as I walked past the building each day on my way to work. The repetition of passing through the urban landscape and the feeling of being drawn to this car park fascinated me and through this I began my obsession with a multicoloured carpark that eventuated into a quirky short dance film.
