Description

Follow the remarkable journey of Siphe November, who left his small township in South Africa to follow his dreams at Canada’s National Ballet School. The young dancer pushes the limits of his talents, tackles an intensive training regimen and soars on stages around the world—all the while navigating family relationships back home, reflecting on what it means to be a Black ballet dancer and figuring out how to give back to the community that raised him. Beyond Moving is an uplifting and inspiring story that reveals deeply personal pulses of family, prejudice, expectation, loss and resilience.

Followed by a Q&A with director Vikram Dasgupta and dancer Siphe November, hosted by award-winning author and journalist Rachel Giese.
