I Ain’t No Superman, the central hip hop musical number from MISCELLANEOUS Productions’ original 2019 work AWAY with HOME has been given a new look in a dance-based video created through the medium of motion graphics, a technique that combines sound, motion, text, and graphic design.
Streetdance choreographer Natasha Gorrie and director Elaine Carol worked with a diverse cast of professional dancers from across British Columbia’s hip hop scene to explore young people’s struggles with mental health, connection, disconnection, and fluctuating feelings of powerlessness, confinement, and hope for young people struggling in a time of plague and uncertainty.
The title song “I Ain’t No Superman” was written and composed by MISCELLANEOUS Productions alumna Natasha Pheko. Filmed in November of 2020, this video is a collaboration with the professional media group Magnafire Media.
