SOMA Theatre was founded in December 2005 as the Contemporary Dance Group of the Regional Centre for Cultural Animation in Torun. Instructor and choreographer is Marta Zawadzka. Firstly, classes were in nature of workshops, all the willing people were able to participate in them . However, it quickly turned into a permanent group of people: workers and students who share a desire to work with the body, passion for creative expression, which is contemporary dance. Already in June 2006, during the Confrontation Amateur Artistic Creativity of the Region to “Narrated by dance”  a group presented her first choreography “Ciasnota”(“Lack of space”), which is a call for the space for action (first classes were held in a small cramped room ). “Ciasnota”(“Lack of space”) was also presented during an evening of dance in October in Brodnica. Next perormance- “About the identity” had its premiere in May 2007 in Baj Pomorski on organized by a group of WOAK an evening of contemporary dance in celebration of International Dance Day, which is celebrated around the world from 1982  on 29th April. Once again, the group presented at the KATAR "Narrated by dance" in 2007. The group also took part in the performative activities: in March 2008 in Bydgoszcz, as a "living advertisement"at PROGRESSteron Festival for Women, in May of the same year on the New Town Market in Toruń during the seminar to celebrate International Dance Day. In August 2009, the group of dancers took part in the performance of Rochus Aust”Futuristic Restaurant at the End of the Universe” - Food Turismo Santo Ristorante at the International Festival of Light Skyway 09 (http://www.skyway09.eu/program.php?e=02-04 .) Once again, the group was presented in KATAR, with a perforamnce “Loop” choreographed by one member of thegroup - Edyta Płaskonka. Previously, the dancers took part in their individual projects (including “Metryczka”-“Cerificate” choreographed by Małgorzatę Bąk.)

Today, the group has changed a bit its line-up, the group is in the process of creative exploration, development of their distinctive identities and improvement of the workshop.
