Support AXIS
Donate now to help AXIS redefine dance and disability. We thank you for your dedication to the transformative power of dance and inclusion.
The 2023 AXIS Choreo-Lab (“the Lab”) will take place in-person at AXIS’ home base in Berkeley, CA Tuesday, May 30 – Saturday, June 10 2023! The Lab will be lead by mentors Nadia Adame and Christopher Unpezverde Núñez, with Choreographer Fellows Davian DJ Robinson, Larissa Velez-Jackson, Sammie Murray & Saira Barbaric.
The goal of the AXIS Choreo-Lab Fellowship is to develop, refine and advance the artistic skills of emerging disabled choreographers. The Lab offers an inclusive environment where established, disabled artists mentor the fellows to challenge boundaries and explore perception changing art. During the Lab, participants will be led through a creation process stemming from their own concept, collaborating with an integrated group of performers including AXIS dancers and professional dancers from the local community. The Lab provides studio space, dancers, and administrative support for every choreographer. This opportunity also includes ongoing mentorship and professional development support in the year following the Lab.
