AXIS redefines dance & disability.

Hold Fast

DeMarco sits on the floor, out of his wheelchair which he holds in front of him. Yuko sits on his shoulders and leans back as she places her feet on his wheels. Both dancers where black jumpsuits with hoods.

A series of duets that reflect on how we struggle, fight, yield, resist and surrender to the constant changes of our landscape. We hold fast and steady ourselves as she goes.

This dance is dedicated to Lisa Bufano and created in her memory.

Janpistar lies on their back in their wheelchair, they grasp the hand of Erik Debono who is lifting them off the floor. Erik places one foot on Janpi's chair for stability. Both dancers have strong, defined muscles and wear black sleeveless tops and shorts.
