Axis Dance Company at North 4th Art Center
The Axis Dance Company is an excellent troupe of people in wheel chairs and 2 "temporarily able-bodied" dancers, and one dancer who has no feet below her knees and only rudimentary hands. The latter, Lisa Bufano, a petite, pixie-ish young woman, who sometimes wears table-leg stilts, had a bacterial infection when she was 21, leading to the amputation of both her feet and fingers.
You can see a couple of video clips of their performances at http://www.axisdance.org/performance.php.
This morning I went back to N4th and saw a short film about one of their former members, Homer, who had only one leg, and how he danced on one leg or on crutches. Sadly, he later died of cancer. Also this a.m. was a film, "Right to Risk," about disabled people rafting in the Grand Canyon. It was amazing! I wondered how bling people could appreciate the Canyon, but that was part of what the movie showed.
