ODC Theater: AXIS Dance – Ecos

October 12, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
A group of four dancers performs an expressive contemporary routine. One dancer is in a wheelchair, showcasing dynamic movements. The background is neutral gray.

AXIS Dance Company presents Ecos, featuring a lineup of three world premieres with special guest artists Post:ballet. The evening features works from award-winning Spanish choreographer Jorge Crecis, celebrated Bay Area artist Dazaun Soleyn, and AXIS Artistic Director Nadia Adame. Across these diverse artistic perspectives, Ecos unveils the many complex layers of the human experience to illuminate the core of what moves us forward.

The evening begins with Adame’s Piel de Luna, which draws inspiration from the mystical energy of the moon – exploring how its gravitational pull not only affects the tides but also weaves invisible threads connecting the human spirit. Following is Soleyn’s Harmony of Souls, a duet which blurs the boundaries between our individual and interconnected experience. The evening closes with Crecis’ epic Blueprints of Being, a collaboration with Post:ballet in which each dancer represents both a real individual and an emblematic archetype, inviting audiences to see parts of their own stories and identities echoed on stage.

Founded in 1987, AXIS Dance Company is one of the nation’s most acclaimed ensembles of disabled, non-disabled and neurodiverse performers, based in the Bay Area, California. AXIS is led by Artistic Director Nadia Adame and creates world-class productions that challenge perceptions and redefine dance and disability. Alongside our artistic programming, the Company provides unparalleled integrated dance education and outreach programs that remove barriers and showcase the beauty of difference.
