AXIS Dance Company is bringing its talents to Young Auditorium tonight, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. AXIS Dance Company is one of the world’s most acclaimed and innovative ensembles of performers with and without disabilities. Under the Artistic Direction of Judith Smith, AXIS has collaborated with leading contemporary choreographers and composers.
AXIS was featured on the FOX Television Program So You Think You Can Dance. At Young Auditorium, AXIS will be performing their 2015 theater work, To Go Again, which brings to light the issues facing our nation’s veterans and addresses their resilience following severe life changes.
Based in Oakland, Calif., AXIS Dance Company was founded in 1987. They are pioneers of the powerful contemporary dance form called physically integrated dance. For this and their continually impressive dance programs, AXIS has been awarded seven Isadora Duncan Dance Awards.
Additionally, they stay true to their mission, which is to change the face of disability and dance. AXIS has created education and outreach programs such as Dance Access for Adults and Dances Access/KIDS! Through these and other programs, AXIS brings physically integrated dance to schools, community centers, independent living centers, and to countless organizations seeking to learn more about dance, disability, and collaboration.
