Dark Soul Dance Theatre is a performative group and art collective initiated in 2010 in London by Zuza Tehanu.
It unites artists from various art and cultural backgrounds creating a platform to work together in different art forms and collaborate on projects that raise awareness of social issues, mental health and empower minority groups to have their voice heard.
The collective creates projects that include theatre, dance, film, original music, costume design and visual arts. So far the group has created 21 live dance and theatre shows, 3 multi disciplinary art events and 1 art festival, 2 music videos, 3 art videos and 1 feature film. Worked with various organisations in UK (Rich Mix, Amnesty International, One Billion Rising, Polish Artists in London) and performed on many stages (Hoxton Hall, Etcetera Theatre, Bargehouse Oxotower, Roundhouse, Koko Camden).
