AXIS PHYSICALLY INTEGRATED DANCE
SUMMER INTENSIVE 2008

AXIS Dance Company is hosting it’s 3rd Physically Integrated Dance Summer Intensive August 3 – 10, 2008 at the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts, Oakland, CA.  AXIS and Eric Kupers of the CSUEB Dance Department will teach physically integrated contact improvisation, technique, choreography, performance, as well as site-specific dance.  The intensive will culminate with an informal performance by workshop attendees and faculty.

People ages 18 and up, of all dance levels and experience, with and without physical disabilities are invited to attend. All participants will be selected through an application process. Please download and send a completed application form AND resume or curriculum vitae of dance, theater, and/or athletic experience to the AXIS office at 1428 Alice Street, Ste. 200, Oakland, CA 94612 by the postmark deadline of June 15th.

Tuition for the workshop is $500. Limited full and partial scholarships will be made available. To apply for a full or partial scholarship participants need to submit a letter of interest including a statement of financial need to accompany their application.

Tuition does not include the cost of accommodations. AXIS is reserving a block of hotel rooms in Oakland at a competitive room rate. We will make hotel information available to workshop registrants in early July. AXIS will make every effort to assist people in finding affordable accommodations including providing registrants with contact information of others who may wish to share a room for the length of the summer intensive.
