AXIS Dance Company, one of the world's most acclaimed and innovative ensembles of performers with and without disabilities, will change the way you think about dance and the possibilities of the human body forever. Founded in 1987, AXIS has become a jewel of contemporary dance and disability culture; the group has paved the way for a powerful contemporary dance form-physically integrated dance-performing in over sixty cities nationwide, as well as in Europe and Siberia.  AXIS' contemporary work inspires audiences and broadens perceptions of dance and disability. Seeing this group of dancers perform groundbreaking works of movement art on stage-with carefully designed audio description-is a thrilling experience not to be missed.

"There is no more defiant a land that I can think of than AXIS. They showed me what dance could be." -Bill T. Jones.

Anyone who wants to listen to the description can request a headset at the theatre.  Your feedback will help us in further refining techniques for dance description.
