“I love the main ingredients of good dancing: physical courage and heartfelt choices. While creating Foregone in the studio, it was so exciting to watch the AXIS dancers explore my movement in their gorgeous, unexpected and meaningful ways. Foregone is a dance about loving – how painful, raucous and foolish it can be, and how we go on doing it no matter what. I dedicate this dance to Judith Smith, a visionary thinker with the heart of a wild horse. My deepest gratitude and respect to all who worked hard for this dance: Alice, Annika, Iva, Judy, Lisa, Margaret, Mollie, Patrick, Rodney and Sonsherée.” – Kate Weare
