We enter 2026 with SCD’s acclaimed striking work of “Jehanne” returning to the stage. Accompanied by live music and original composition by Mark Dancingers. Filled with grit and untamed choreography by Leymis Bolaños Wilmott, led by Melissa Rummel along a cast of fearless women, this performance reflects Joan of Arc’s strength and faith that carried her through trials and tribulations. The work honors the human SPIRIT by demonstrating the resilience and HEART that has taken the company to this point and will continue its forward motion.
