Follow the remarkable journey of National Ballet of Canada Second Soloist 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.

A rare opportunity for a one-hour in-depth chat with Evan!
 

 From Evan:

"Let's go into the WORLD of ballet both in Canada and abroad, into being a ballet dancer and the fantastical journey of physicalizing the human condition with our best tool: the human body. Thank you @katherinebarber for having this idea to discuss the experiences I've had to be able to challenge myself and my interpersonal communication constantly through a wild ride featuring such provocative roles ...most recently in my home town of Toronto at The National Ballet of Canada.

  I look forward to trying to answer some of your exciting questions ahead of our performances of Nijinsky and The Winter's Tale."

Tea and desserts will be served
