Dover Unlocked took over the Fort Burgoyne for a couple of days to record in the historical spaces deep in the chalk cliffs. Tia Mya Hockey joined Anna Richard and Ben to respond to the residual history housed in this bastion - using movement as her means of expression Tia, along with Anna and Richard who accompanied her on drums and stringed instruments - captured unforgettable moments.

 

Fort Burgoyne, originally known as Castle Hill Fort, was built in the 1860s as one of the Palmerston forts around Dover in southeast England. It was built to a polygonal system with detached eastern and western redoubts, to guard the high ground northeast of the strategic port of Dover, just north of Dover Castle. The fort is named after the 19th century Field Marshal Sir John Fox Burgoyne, Inspector-General of Fortifications and son of the John Burgoyne who fought in the American Revolutionary War.
