Reverence for the Rebels Rehearsal by Soma Anima Arts
On Friday April 24 we had a special look into the process of Soma Anima Arts as they create their latest work, Reverence for the Rebels. It will be a feature of the upcoming International Dance Day performances at The Scotiabank Dance Centre April 29. The piece, choreographed by Artistic Director Rachel Helten, features a collaboration with artists Kelly McInness, Alyssa Amarshi, Carla Alcántara, Tawahum Bige, Kofi Obiri-Yeboah and Ben Helten.
