(2) 3 programmes for the 'Per4mance' dance/performance series, August 1999 called 'Loose in Flight', 'Khooyile' and 'My Husband is a Spaceman' combining animation and performed/stage elements. The challenge of these projects was to bring high art to a mainstream audience on a low budget through technical and artistic innovation. Davies was responsible for creative origination, direction, camera work, animation and editing. Davies used many editing and cinematographic decisions that went against the grain of conventional film-making.
