PIPE DREAM

Aakash Odedra Company commissioned the production of the short dance film Pipe Dream with the support of the British Council and the Australian Government, in response to the artistic exchange during the Dance Film Dance Plus mentorship, which began in 2021. 

​

Filmed in Wooroloo, Pipe Dream reflects on our contribution to the climate crisis and the delicate interdependency between man and nature. It looks at our relentless pursuit of progress and acquisition and marks the devastating impact of the bushfires on the lives of Western Australians. The Goldfields pipeline which features in the film was built in 1903 to connect remote gold mining communities to water from Perth Hills. Water is still piped hundreds of kilometres east today to the Wheatbelt, contributing billions of dollars to the state's prosperity.

​

Pipe Dream is dedicated to those who have devoted themselves towards fighting for a sustainable future, moving away from a colonial patriarchy and towards a safer and more stable world.
