ABOUT AXIS

KRCB "The Art of Movement " (2008)
by David Levitt Waxman.
The Art of Movement investigates the questions how one can describe in words what AXIS calls “physically integrated dance?” Without a firmly-established vocabulary, like that of ballet which has evolved over a century, you truly have to “see it to believe it.”

ABOUT DANCE & DISABILITY

"Phoenix Dance " (2006)
by Karina Epperlein.
The film “Phoenix Dance” shows us the beauty and strength of one individual who defies our expectations of what it means to be “disabled.” In March 2001, Homer Avila – who had been dancing with Twyla Tharp, Bill T. Jones, and Mark Morris – discovered that the pain in his hip was cancer. One month later, his right leg and most of his hip were amputated. What unfolds is the story of the pas de deux called “Pas”, which the renowned Alonzo King choreographed for Homer, now missing one leg.
