Event Description

Tonight's event forms part of the RAI's Bodies in Motion multimedia series.

Temporary Sanity: the Skerrit Bwoy Storyis a film produced by Dan Brun in 2006 as part of his Visual Anthropology Masters at the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology, University of Manchester. The film explores the cultures, gendered performances and political expressions that form part of Jamaican Dance Hall in New York. By following “Skerrit Boy” a Bronx based performer and promoter of Dance Hall music, the film gives an insider’s view into the dancing, history and social roles of Dance Hall clubs in the lives of the Jamaican and Caribbean Diaspora in the United States. The film has won international recognition amongst film makers and dance enthusiasts alike. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the RAI’s Education and Communications Officer Nafisa Fera

Tonight’s event includes a photo and art exhibition illustrating sport, dance and play in diverse landscapes from concrete jungles to remote highlands where people come together to celebrate movement.
