One Week with Dorfman

We just completed our first week with David and what feels to me like my first week with AXIS. I rehearsed with the company for 2 weeks before heading out-of-country this summer, but after this week and the very exploratory, creative process we have submerged ourselves in, I feel much more connected with the other dancers and the life of the Company.

Working with David has been a total joy. We have worked hard, but there has been a powerful air of acceptance and encouragement to bring all of ourselves to the rehearsal process. This environment allowed us to generate a great deal of material in our first three (and subsequent) days together, and then to present it in an improvised structure in the Malonga Theater on Thursday night.

I feel that after this first week's research we are now digging deeper as we head into the second week. I am ready and eager for the next step.
