Rewards for the Tribe

1h 30m Documentary 2023

Rewards For The Tribe is a playful feature documentary. It is a meeting of minds and bodies of two major dance companies – Chunky Move and Restless Dance Theatre. The film follows the development of a major new work by the five collaborating dancers. It tests the boundaries of group harmony and myths of physical perfection. Jianna, Michael, Charlie, Ben, Cody and Darcy find a shared personal and creative language. They create a work that takes them from their homes in Australia to the international stage in the UK.

Rewards For The Tribe shifts from documentary to intimate reflections by the artists. The film is intimate, cheeky, thoughtful and expansive. It guides us to understanding the rewards of rethinking perfection and harmony.
