The Gift (of Impermanence) is a visual poem, a tribute to the work of this extraordinary contemporary dance company. Through a revue collection of snippets, excerpts and remembrances, dancers meet, interact with each other through movement and then part. “The Gift (of Impermanence)” is not a historic chronology of AXIS Dance Company’s past twenty-seven years. Rather, through beautiful and touching dance imagery, Ketley is claiming AXIS Dance Company’s present artistic moment.”
