AXIS Dance Company

Showcase Theatre, 9:30 & 11:00 a.m.

Curriculum Links: Dance, Disability Awareness

As one of the Bay Area’s leading contemporary dance companies, AXIS brings a blend of drama and whimsy to the stage through vignettes integrating dancers with and without mobility impairments. Featuring work by today’s leading contemporary choreographers, AXIS creates stunning movement and stage pictures, driving the narrative of the dance. 

More than any other physically integrated company in the U.S., AXIS has been a bridge between contemporary dance and physically integrated dance. AXIS has performed in theaters and dance spaces at its home base in the Bay Area, on tour throughout the U.S., as well as in Germany and Siberia. AXIS has received numerous Isadora Duncan Dance Awards including Individual Performance in '00 to Uli Schmitz, the first disabled dancer to receive this award. The Company has created over forty repertory works, two evening length works and two works for young audiences.

Pre-performance workshop for teachers Saturday, October 18.  Contact Youth in Arts for more information.
