AXIS Dance Company

AXIS redefines dance & disability.

In Defense of Regret

In Defense of Regret was collaboratively created by three separate choreographers, Maurya Kerr, Alex Ketley and Bobbi Jene Smith. Each Choreographer has a unique voice and interest in working with AXIS, but all three share a similar aesthetic sensibility regarding the idea that movement can be an amazing map of our interior landscapes, instead of creating dance through a more graphic or architectural vantage point.

Lani places one hand on the shoulder of Dwayne as she extends one leg back in a high arabesque. Dwayne reaches one arm across his chest to a wheel of his wheelchair, and brings his other one up into a curved wrist gesture in front of his face. Dwayne wears a plaid shirt and olive green pants so my: Lani has turquoise dyed hair and wears a blue skirt and top.
