Given what I see in that video you are going to need high ISO.  Without flash you are going to need faster than 1/1000s.  Unless you don't mind blurry appendages but are hoping for a somewhat sharp face.

So if you get a 2 stop faster lens it's going to have to all go into faster shutter speeds.  The ISO is going to have to stay up there.
