Joy Dancer (2024)

The body remembers. Reclaims. Reframes.

A dance-filled documentary about South African choreographer and activist Gregory Maqoma. Maqoma works with composer Thuthuka Sibisi to create a radical and unique theatrical dance piece based on the true story of the first Black South African choir traveling to the UK. From rehearsals to the final performance, the film is full of personal and inspiring music and movement, captured beautifully for the big screen.
