Inspired by the oral histories and personal archives of our fathers, Riddim in Blue is an experimental documentary film and dance collaboration relating the story of two Jamaican men as innovators and pioneers of new technologies in Canada. Jerry Ebanks was instrumental in developing e-banking while working at the Canadian head office of an American bank. Probyn Gayle was the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of the first electric car company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The film recounts their stories through translations of dance notation, choreographed movements, and 16mm plant-processed film. Interpretive dance acknowledges the forced migration from the African continent through the Middle Passage to the island of Jamaica as key to the development of a new creolized culture. Riddim in Blue positions movement, migration, and the significant achievements of these two men as Black technological development.
