ARTISTRY PROGRAMThe heart of AXIS is the commissioning, creation, and performance of contemporary dance that is developed through the collaboration of dancers with and without physical disabilities. Our artistic vision to collaborate with high profile choreographers and cutting edge innovative dance makers of our time was an excellent strategy that has resulted in artistically stunning and significant dance works. For three decades and counting, AXIS has been at the forefront of the field, building a bridge between contemporary dance, integrated dance, and disability culture. Axis performs this work locally at their home base in the San Francisco Bay Area and on tour through the United States and nationally.
