Disability Rights and Representation Arts and Performance Studies Diversity and Impact of Dance

Abstract

Oakland, California's AXIS Dance Company employs contact improvisation techniques with choreographers Bill T. Jones and Stephen Petronio to generate innovative mixed-ability movement and fully integrated dance. For female dancers with disabilities, the materiality of impairment informs gendered assumptions about the act of looking, whether this act is a glance, a look, a gaze, or a stare. Jones and Petronio explore choreography with AXIS that pushes the boundaries of human perception and ability.
