Far From The Norm’s “Can’t Kill Us All”

While its doors remain closed, New York City’s The Joyce Theater is bringing dance to a digital stage via JoyceStream. The fall programming kicked off on Tuesday with works by Ate9, CONTRA-TIEMPO, Deeply Rooted Dance Theater and Far From The Norm. Those videos will be available until October 19, and more will be announced shortly.

This piece, “Can’t Kill Us All” from British hip-hop collective Far From The Norm, is a collaboration between artistic director Botis Seva, filmmaker Ben Williams and composer Torben Lars Sylvest. Commissioned by The Space and BBC Arts, supported by Arts Council England and Sadler’s Wells, the film follows a Black man dealing with both lockdown and the trauma of racism.
