Check out the video below to see the CTV interview with choreographer, Jera Wolfe, as well as a sneak peak at our new work.

Last month’s newsletter highlighted Jera Wolfe and the dancers; this month we’d like to thank everyone else who worked on Begin Again!





Our artistic, administrative and production team for Begin Again had to shift duties, shift expectations, and adapt as we pivoted to online. WCD sincerely appreciates everyone’s support as we navigate the unprecedented challenges of dance creation and presentation during Covid-19. Special thanks to the rest of our team!
