Join us in celebrating local and national street dance artists and their endeavours into movement-on-screen.
This is a retrospective screening of street dance-centred films that have screened at FORM over the past 10 years. Each film creatively explores the unique ways that street dances such as hip hop, locking, w*acking, and breaking can interact with the camera. These films act as a living archive of street dance in Canada, commemorating the culture and people who shape the community.
Showcasing one of Toronto's best up and coming Hiphop dancers, All It Gives follows the story of Kosi Eze, a Nigerian immigrant who moved to Canada when she was fourteen. Her transition to the country brought culture shock, loneliness and loss of identity. She was immediately hooked by the vibrant Hiphop scene in Toronto and Mississauga. After meeting key members of the dance community, Marcelino "FrostFlow" DaCosta, Mariano "Glizzi" Abarca and Caroline "Lady C" Fraser, she was able to meet even more new people, share perspectives, and excel as a dancer in the Toronto community and beyond. From dancing in the hallways at her high school, to winning battles across the globe, Kosi's story of growth is a glowing example of how the power of hiphop can inspire, uplift and support anyone who needs it and wants to discover it.
