“DanceWorks was an integral support for NOMADA. I felt supported throughout the diverse stages of presentation: from the application to the CanDance Creation Fund to the co-presentation with Canadian Stage. DanceWorks' team was always thoughtful, caring, and generous with understanding the needs we have as producers and artists. I strongly believe DanceWorks is deserving of charitable donations.”

-Diana Lopez Soto, dance artist and choreographer

Diana and her work titled NOMADA were supported by DanceWorks through an investment of the CanDance Creation Fund and a co-presentation engagement with Canadian Stage (2024).
