I’m currently engaged in the ‘Free to Rep Program’, a 3-week residency with Axis Dance Co. & 4 fantastic choreographers at The Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreograph in Tallahassee, Fla. The choreographers, Isabel Croxatto/Isabel Croxatto+Abundanza (Chile), Shinichi Iova-Koga/Inkboat (CA), Alex Ketley/The Foundry (CA), and Kate Weare (NY), were selected to spend from 63 applicants interested in working with AXIS, the Oakland based physically integrated dance company, in a research laboratory environment as part of a pilot MANCC program entitled Free to Rep.
