NEED IDENTIFICATION
Between the Modernist movement in both architecture and dance, to the PostModern globalised world of today either or all of these common features described above, seem to have diminished within the creative processes. Traditional architecture operated within society as a type of literal narrative. Symbolism was extremely explicit and enjoyed a universal meaning and understanding, which is not as evident today. The modernists increasingly practiced the principles of rationalization and detraditionalisation. The solitary objective was to achieve the functional aspects. The presence of extreme distinctions of white/black or good/bad resulted in a lost relevance of the fundamentals of creative practices. With the speed of technology and varied systems of broadcast, a new connected global world has emerged. This has resulted in blurred cultural boundaries and has potential to construct a pioneering tradition of fundamentals that transcend sociocultural, economic and physiographic boundaries. However, the constant need for simplicity does not let the complexities of space reveal themselves, which thus overlooked symbolic references and embodied narratives.
