[Part 1/2] Soulpepper Academy 2024. August wrapped with a sharing of stories and music through the gifts of the artists at the Soulpepper Academy. What a blessing it was to sit on this stage floor and witness what was being fostered. Guided through this process by the affirming and gracefully powerful d’bi.young anitafrika, these five remarkable artists crafted such moving, vulnerable, and defiant pieces of their lives and imaginations to share with their community.
